Subject: ICC with arena and winboard

hi,

i have been playing on ICC a bit with my engine, but i have had some problems:
at first, i used arena, and there sometimes the following happens: when my
engine is playing black, arena says "illegal move" on the second move of my
engine, although the move was perfectly legal. it then goes on to lose on time
of course. has anybody else seen this kind of problem with arena+ICC?

next, i added winboard support to my engine and now i'm playing without problems
under winboard. one annoying thing is that my engine gets kicked out of ICC
after 60 minutes of idleness, which happens rather frequently. has anybody
compiled himself a version of winboard which sends an arbitrary command to ICC
(like "finger") every 50 minutes or so? or is there another solution to this?

cheers
  martin
