Well, I've run three 'puters on ICC...  MrsLovett (defunct), JudgeTurpin and
Beadle.  All of them will play anybody who is registered, established and not a
free week trail person.  If you've got a (C), you can play any standard game you
like.  Oh - MrsLovett was a crafty clone, and wouldn't play other clones.  I've
also noplayed a number of cheats and computer operators who don't list their
program or machine specs.

Of course if you're only targetting the highest rated computers on ICC, then I
can't help you.  My comps rate around 2500-2600.
