Munjong, it is a bit sad, to follow your story. I think, I can imagine your
pains.

Did you play with Winboard? A possible useful tip for the next CCT. There is a
FAQ inside the winboard distribution, that shows a sample batch file, which will
automatically reconnect. This should avoid the typical disconnection problem
after beeing idler for one hour. Possibly (depending on the details, how your
account was setup) you can also

set noautologout 1

which should avoid the disconnections, too. If this command does not work for
you, I am almost certain, that an ICC administrator will be helpful, and make it
work (at least for the time of CCT tournament).

And, when you have to let run the engine unattended under Winboard or Xboard.
Make sure to set it up with "zippy passwords" and tell those passwords to a
trusted person. If anything goes wrong, that person might be able to fix it from
remote.

See you in Paderborn,
Dieter
