soundfics

FICS proxy which pumps up traffic by sound

I like to play on FICS under Linux with xboard. But I am not satisfied with native Xboard's acoustic behaviour. So, soundfics is designed to sound a chess traffic between FICS and FICS client Tested with Xboard, Jin, eboard

• nodejs
• npm
• aplay
• FICS account (optional)
