I don't have a second computer to run auto232 games with (wish I did) but the
information about auto232 seems very vague to me.  Are there any freeware
program's other than Rémi Coulom's Winboard auto232 program that would allow use
of non-Winboard program to play eachother from diff computers?

And if someone could, please point me to where I could find out more about
auto232, because it's one of those things that almost seems like an inside
secret to me, and standing on the outside, that doesn't ammuse me.
