   Wow, that's a blast from the past, someone encouraging people to finger   
   them. Panix supports finger, in the old-school type that tells login   
   shell, tty, and mail read time in addtions to .plan and .project.   
      
   finger elijah@panix.com   
      
   I use a non-standard mailbox so mail read time is wildly wrong.
