Are you sure you got on ICS?  The latest address is

        telnet chess.panix.com 5000

the 5000 is very important.  Without the 5000 you get a
computer that wants a password and won't get you to ICS in any
case.

To register for a password on the ICS machine, the following
help instructions from ICS are provided

"Send mail to TheDane (d...@daimi.aau.dk).  In your mail, make
sure there is one line formatted exactly like the following:

addplayer NAME E_MAIL

where NAME is an alphabetical name you wish to use (like
"MataPato") and E-MAIL is your e-mail address (like
"chan...@cmu.edu).  NAME should only contain the letters
[a..zA..Z].  Digits (such as 1, 2) and other characters such as
"-" and " ") are NOT allowed.  To see if a name such as
"foobar" already exists do "stats foobar" when logged into
ICS.  Once your account is made, we will send you a password
which you can change on-line."

Good luck.

Send instead a mail to me (t...@daimi.aau.dk (AnteTempore))
Use the subject: registration.

You should then receive the information.
