I simply added an option so one can specify the remote port of the
finger service, if it is different than the one found in /etc/services
(usually port 79).  

This is useful if the remote finger service is located behind a firewall,
or uses a redirected port (in the case of slip emulators, such
as SLiRP or TIA).

To specify the port on the command line, use the -o option.

For example, to finger host.domain.edu at port 4079, you would
simply enter:

finger <user>@host.domain.edu -o 4079


I thought there might be a need for this... and I hope someone
finds this to be useful..
