i don't have an answer, but i do have a suggestion,   ....there are 
plenty of GUIs for telenet bg (to play on FIBS)  i'd bet that it 
wouldn't be too hard to set up a telnet server that would send an email 
(bg show BOARDNUM, or perhaps subscribe to the game) to richard's 
server, then translate the board into the boardstyle that FIBS outputs 
to GUI clients.  then feed that to your client.  done.

or convert it to a position format that gnuBG can read.

there's my 2 cent's worth of inspiration, and now i'll step back and let 
someone do the $99.98 perspiration part.
