Ok, I successfully logged on using my account. It took a bit to realize that it
was set not only for ICC, but the commands also. Things like quietplay, etc.
don't work at FICS. I played a game fine and Thinker also played fine though
only with ponder off. With ponder on (using 4 MB hash), the machine froze after
5 moves on both attempts.

BTW, it clearly is VGA sensitive but could one change the colors of the pieces
at least? Not a big fan of those orange pieces which are hard to see.
