What just dawned on me is that this could easily be subsumed under Gopher.
Heck, a Gopher server on port 79 could serve this.


hehe good old finger, morris worm used that as one of its attck vectors, and it was a long standing security hole on amigaos and amitcp, in its early versions. Kinda doubt many would be willing run that service this days, on the other hand the protocol is so simple, people should have learned how to make it secure by now.
