Hi,
	I am looking for a "finger" for ultrix that will service and generate
	DECNET version 5.X finger calls.  We have a large DECNET base here
	and can use finger on a VMS machine to see if anyone is logged in on
	another VMS machine.  If we try to do this to an ultrix node, we
	get an error.  Likewise, we would like to be able to "finger someone
	on a VMS node from an ultrix machine.  The best would be to have a 
	generic "decfinger and decfingerd" that would run on any unix box.
	Please reply to me personally if such a beast exists.  If enough
	interest is noted (e.g. > 20 people), I will post the source for it
	on this newsgroup.  
								Happy Hunting!
