 Finally, I am loosely connected with the Internet Chess Club,
 which provides a high-quality (but not free) chess server.  The
 ICC is considering starting other games (expanding into Shogi is
 my idea :-) ), and I'm currently trying to figure out if there
 is enough interest in a good shogi server for it to be economically
 viable.
 ICC = http://www.chessclub.com

First, the ICC is free if you log on as a guest.  Of course, there are many
advantages to being a member, but having guest access is very useful for the
occassional player.  Second, I think the idea of adding Shogi to ICC is
great.  I'd be there to play shogi if they had the capability.  Third, keep
in mind that you need a fair number of people to make a server successful.
 For example, ICC works best when there are at least 200 players logged on.
