We do not send the HTTP 'From:' header. I will look into where they are getting the user name and location from. There is really nothing I can do in the Navigator to stop them from getting your IP address or DNS name.
I beleive that it uses finger. If you really want to prevent people from finding out where you're coming from, use the anonymizer. Not at CMU? Don't worry.
On most UNIX machines or a Mac or PC running most common talk clients? Worry. Not just finger, but also identd will identify you. I think Eudora Pro has an identd option, too. -rich
