Mark's been having some fun with his Zephyr location:

milo.mit.edu                               SIPB Office. Still. Wed May 22 03:24:15 1991

But /usr/athena/finger doesn't display this correctly:

Athena-wide:
Login name: eichin                      In real life: Mark W. Eichin
Nickname: N1DPU
Office: W20-557,  x3-7788               Home phone: 508-670-2705

No Plan.

It works okay for marc:

hodge.MIT.EDU                              :0.0    Tue May 21 18:01:52 1991
On since Tue May 21 18:01:52 1991 on :0.0 on host hodge.MIT.EDU

It seems to assume that the display is limited to 8 characters.  (Yes,
I know where this limit comes from, but it shouldn't apply to Zephyr
locations.)
