What were you trying to do?
remotely finger a person at another Internet node

What's wrong:
the computer displayed "[acc.haverford.edu]" - which is normal
in the cursor appears and waits for more input - which is not normal.
What should have happened:
"[acc.haverford.edu]" should be displkayued , then after a
brief pause , the status of j_haytock (ie. not logged in or current
location and time logged in.)
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
cursor juist appears to wait for an indefinate amount of input.
