	RFC 1194 is a specifies a draft standard for the application
interface to Remote User Information Processors; in other words, finger.
It's a ten-page beastie and includes the following specification:

> 2.5.5.  Vending machines
>
>   Vending machines SHOULD respond to a {C} request with a list of all
>   items currently available for purchase and possible consumption.
>   Vending machines SHOULD respond to a {U}{C} request with a detailed
>   count or list of the particular product or product slot.  Vending
>   machines should NEVER NEVER EVER eat requests.  Or money.

	See what happens when you put ONE COKE MACHINE on the network?!?!?
