We have "finger" running on all our HP9000/300 and 800 series workstations.
It is shipped with HP-UX.  Since "finger" is included in the manual I
don't see why it shouldn't be supported by HP.  Of course, there is still
problems with phone numbers having non-US format in the GCOS field but
that may perhaps be considered as a minor nuisance.
