       Posting this as it ties relates to Finger's versatility.
       
       A Nex station implemented using fingerd + awk:  nex.runbsd.io
       
       FYI: the Lagrange smolnet client has Nex support.  You can also use most
       Gopher clients to navigate Nex on a page-by-page basis as long as they support
       passing non-standard ports. i.e.
       
         $ lynx gopher://nightfall.city:1900/0/
       
       Both the above stations have an NPS (Nex Postal Service) running on port
       1915; the nex.runbsd.io one is also fingerd + awk based.
       
       Some basic info on what Nex is, clients, servers, etc.:
