Re your finger question, yes, you sure can. You can do finger from your host to any machines(provided they allow so) round the world. If you don't have access to finger, grab a copy of it from an FTP server(remember get the right one - the one that runs on your particular machines). Pretty tricky, but you can also finger on nic.ddn.mil - if you prefer to take a short cut! --- Bill (not sure if I can post this via rn!)
