Requirements
MacFIBS requires a PowerPC Macintosh, with approximately 12 MB of free RAM, and 6 MB disk space. You also need a connection to the Internet (which you probably have, since you're reading this page on the web!)
MacFIBS is shareware, allowing you to join the FIBS community and play backgammon on the Internet before you purchase. The FIBS server itself is free, and open to all--to learn more about the FIBS server, check the official FIBS Web site.
