I don't have a synchronet board so that's a good question. Meatlotion
folded in his finger server with his mystic board but I'm sure he's
using some bash scripts to do it.

My finger service is custom and there are no plan files. Feel free to
peruse. I spent many hours setting it up and even more hours thinking
about how I"d do it. It's been a blast.

Have you ever thought that you could look up wikipedia articles on a
finger? Or get local movie theater times? Or, even, lookup scientific
papers? Enjoy.
