It's interesting to go back to the early RFCs and remember that the WHOIS protocol was officially the NICNAME protocol, and that it was for finding people, not for finding WWW sites.
Because the WWW was a decade in the future when RFC 812 was written.
Given how pointless the FINGER and NICNAME protocols are today, and how similar they are to GEMINI, I wonder how the robots, the only clients that will come, would react to a GEMINI server on ports 43 and 79.
