Finger protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_protocol I think that Finger protocol support was removed from Firefox in V4 (or even before). Not sure when it was removed from IE (or if it was ever there). To my great surprise, Windows has a native command line finger client (still there in W7). -- MarkR PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
