Pretty standard thing in several companies I do work for is to have an intranet 
page with http://, ssh://, telnet:// and finger:// (amazingly) links to various 
devices on the network.  Having to read the source and escape to a shell would 
be somewhat worse than what I get on a base install today.
IIRC, finger was how we got a quick status overview from... some piece of ATM 
switching gear?
And yes, I actually do spend a noticeable amount of time at the text console, 
with no ports installed, when inside a foreign network.
