Can't we assume, for example, that the HTTP service is _always_ either on port 80, or on some port >1024? Similarly, gopher is _always_ either on port 79 or on some port >1024. This rules out the gopher: hack to access finger info. I won't loose any sleep over that. A finger: URL should probably be deployed, along with gateway interim solutions. Dan
