Peter Lewis <peter@mail.peter.com.au> writes in regard to fingering for earthquake information:

You can also just paste Finger URLs into Finger 1.5.0 [Peter's Finger MacTCP-based Finger client], or, if you see them in a Usenet news posting that you're reading with NewsWatcher, you can just Command-click the URL to pass the URL to Finger. A Finger URL looks like:

finger://quake@geophys.washington.edu
