Here's the ICC 'help computer' output.  My interpretation is that
you *can*, but you have to have (C) appended to your handle:

***** COMPUTERS *****

There are many computers on ICC.  Using a computer to decide your moves
on ICC can be fun, and is welcomed.  But you MUST follow the ICC rules.
In the rest of this file "computer" means the use of any chess-related
computer program during an ICC game, including chess-playing programs
and chess databases.

1) Anyone using a chess-related program while playing on the ICC must
be listed on the computer list.  ICC members have the right to know if
they are playing against a computer.  You must tell an admin, so you
will be added to the list: "message POTZY I am using a computer".

2) Using a chess-related program, without being on the list, is a
VIOLATION of the ICC user agreement.  You may lose your account with
no refund.  We have years of experience detecting computer-use, so please
don't try to get away with it.  Save yourself and the admins a lot of time
and hassle:  request to be on the computer list.

3) Computer and human play CANNOT be mixed on one ICC account.  If you
use your account for playing, you must get another account for using your
computer.  Just type "register" to create a new account, then ask an
admin to add it to the computer list.

4) Many people do not want to play computers.  Therefore, computers should
not accept "seek" ads.   This is very annoying to people who want to play a
human.  Computers should not issue unsolicited "match" commands.  Computers
are welcome to issue "seek" commands and accept "match" commands.

5) Computers must be able to resume stored games.  Please work to finish
stored games by typing "resume" often.  Computers should not be programmed
to shout during or after every game, or every time they login.  Thanks.

6) If you have evidence that someone is using a computer, and they are not
on the computer list, please send a message to SpeedTrap.
