Until I get my own finger running, I'm borrowing a bbs finger from the
quantum wormhole. It's possible the sysop wrote his own finger server. I
can ask.

We have a menu item on his bbs that allows us to modify our own plan
file. So i'm using it currently as a business card until I get my finger
presence up and running on my bbs's vps.

I just have to fight the lazy bug. Got alot of other pursuits pulling
stronger.
