Cool, thanks. I'll continue publishing finger URLs as described
in the ID then. For some reason I thought it was a standard and
that OverbiteFF already implemented it, then I clicked one and
nothing happened.

I plan to use finger to show load on hosts for students to
select a login host, so I've deployed OverbiteFF on all the
machines in Room 205 (the room with the webcam). It also allows
them to see the society's Gophersite (which I still need to
finish).

Iain.
