- O.K. I guess I didn't do my research and should have asked a more
- pointed question. Sorry about that. I notice that there seems that
- one doesn't exist. (and running a daemon with RFC 931 is out of the
- question because it assumes that the other side has it too) Having a
- daemon on the other side that recognizes a loop during a finger would
- also satisfy the "back". Oh well... no wonder Spock is "In search of.."
