Don't know what else works. I've not done it myself. I don't think it's hard. "help computers" on the FICS server yielded this paragraph (among others): In order to register a computer, contact "computers" (the team who handles this procedure). E-mail computers@freechess.org with the information contained in "help computer_app" The review process usually takes a few days. You will be contacted about your request. Happy hunting, Matt
