Try this instead of fingering:

   telnet twinbrook.cis.uab.edu 79

And don't forget the "79" that is the finger port.  After you are connected,
type the userID you wanted to finger, like:

   spinweb

This will circumvent the problems with FINGER clients mucking up an
animation.  The problem is not usually your local FINGER server.
For more information on this, see the items on the .plan file in the 
"Discussions" menu in the ASCII Art Bazaar under the Continuum on my 
Gopher server.

Regards,
