I do not want to sling mud where no mud is due, but when I tried a version
of about six months ago, it only took me three minutes and an attempt to
restore a saved game to make the server crash (inadvertently).  I *hope*
they've fixed a couple of things in there, 'cause I just might have to
use FICS in a couple of interesting ways in several months' time :(

G'luck,
Peter
