I believe it is possible to check for new mail from my Demon account using Finger. I would like to do this but, alas, although I can get my mail over Telnet, I would like to check it over Finger. Just for reference I'm using the windows finger client Cyberkit. Thanks -- Posted By Gids "If life is an open book, she'd rather read the pictures for a while" - O-M

The host you need to finger is: your_account_name@post.demon.co.uk So you would need: goldfinch@post.demon.co.uk If you are dialled into your Demon account and the finger command you have supports the "long" option you will get to see who the mail is from and its length. -- Richard Howlett mailto:richard@howie.org.uk
