It provides _general_ access to various Internet services. I.e., it is not a fin- ger client per se, but rather a client of any of a rather broad class of ser- vices that can be "published" by _any_ user of a SuperServer-equipped UNIX box. So, you can use a DA as a whois, finger, who, nslookup, etc. client.... You can get the SuperServer/Client pair from ssyx.ucsc.edu. I just checked to be sure and noticed that there is also a directory called "hyperunix". I can only guess at what this is. I did notice something in that directory called "finger.sit.hqx". Perhaps this is another answer to one of the questions above?
