Don't quote me on this, but I think you need a finger server running on 
the OS/2 machine. I'm pretty sure I saw one in \tcpip\bin (probably 
FingerD.Exe, just like TelNetD.Exe, FTPD.Exe, and HTTPD.Exe). Don't ask 
me how to use it, though. [:) I'm replying on the road, but I'll try to 
remember to check before I post this reply.

Take care and TTYL.
