Interface for online chess for Pocket PC?

Hi all, today I got my iPaq 4150 pocket PC loaded up with PocketFritz2
and some other tutorials. It even connects to the internet. I downloaded
the 'Thief' interface, but a message said it is not for PocketPC. Must be
a different OS version for the handhelds? I'd appreciate if anyone here
can point me to an interface for online chess for this machine.
thanks in advance for any replies

Pocket Chess Internet by Convekta seems like an OK option.It connects thru the Chess OK portal there is a fee to download but once you have you can play for free.I think Thinker Board has an option with the PPC version but I can't remember what portals it uses.It would be best to choose one which can connect to the popular sites eg ICC,Fics, Playchess.

You can play on Internet (FICS only) with pocket Scid

"Cubeman".... now where have I seen that name?....is it Chris from NZ?
If so, I'm happy with my PPC Chris, and hope you do well with selling
the other, more expensive one.

I live across the ditch,I am glad you are happy with the PPC.I have not tried any internet chess on the PPC.Let us know what you discover.I mainly use it for chess training and a quick blunder check after one of my games at the chess club.We are a few of the downunder members on these forums.
