Hi Loyd,


Are you after a Telnet server in particular?  Well, the only one I
know of is telnet://igs.nuri.net:6969, which is actually a go
server, but you can play shogi there as well (no GUI client though).


There also used to be another (shogi dedicated) server at
telnet://emerald.midorino.musashino.tokyo.jp:6092, but I haven't been
able to connect to it for a while, which makes me wonder if this site
is dead or has moved.


More details of these, and other Java-based sites, are at
