They might also be interested in Finger-11:
https://www.glaver.org/ftp/tmk-software/finger11

That is a full implementation of Finger for RSTS/E. It can even reach
IP and unknown DECnet hosts if the name of a router (typically a VMS
system) is configured.

 For historical amusement, there's MS-DOS Finger:
https://www.glaver.org/ftp/tmk-software/msfinger

Which can similarly reach IP and unknown DECnet hosts the same way.
If run as just "finger", the user will see:

You are the only user, of course.
