+<application>finger</application>(1) isn't exactly a network diagnostic
+tool as much as it is a network-user diagnostic tool. Using
+<application>finger</application>, you can gather a handful of useful
+information about users on servers running the
+<application>fingerd</application>(8) daemon. Today very few servers
+still offer <application>fingerd</application>, but for those that do
+it can be a useful tool for keeping track of your friends and
+co-workers.

+<section><title>pine</title>
+
+<para>
+<application>pine</application> is one of the oldest command-line
+interface mail clients still in existance and remains one of the most
+user-friendly. <application>pine</application> was created by the
+University of Washington and carries with it both a trademark and a
+copyright license that are difficult to work with. Thankfully back in
+2005, the university saw fit to re-write it without the trademark and
+with a more open license, so <application>alpine</application>(1) was
+born. This is the pine-clone distributed with Slackware. To start using
+it, simply type <application>pine</application> at the command line.
+Using it is very simple due to its menu-driven system as well as the
+command referance neatly located at the bottom of the screen. See for
+yourself.

+
+<para>
+Some people don't like <application>pine</application>. Some people
+want more control. Some people want a fully-configurable mail client
+with plugin support and a no-nonsense attitude. Those people use
+<application>mutt</application>(1). <application>mutt</application>
+isn't as user friendly as <application>pine</application>, but makes up
+for it with power. You won't find the user-friendly command referance
+at the bottom of the screen, <application>mutt</application> uses every
+last inch of real-estate for mail processing duty. It's feature support
+is extensive: threaded displays are no problem for the mighty
+mixed-breed! You can configure <application>mutt</application> with a
+<filename>.muttrc</filename> file in your home directory. With all the
+many different possible configuration options, there's even a man page
+for that, muttrc(5). You might want to read up on it.
