Please check out http://www.halcyon.com/stouten/shogi-live.html, "How to
play Shogi live on the internet." Some amendments to the information given
there: just 5 minutes ago I found out that (3) and (5) seem to be at
202.241.3.12. For some reason its name "emerald.slim.imnet.ad.jp" cannot be
found in any host lookup tables.

   (3) http://202.241.3.12/shogi/
   (5) telnet://202.241.3.12:6092

Both are in Japanese so I am not sure how useful they are.

As far as I know this is the most active site, but maybe you were not there
when it was most busy. There is after all a time difference of 13-16 hours
between USA and Japan.

Good luck!
