In the good old days we had utilities such as finger and so on - these 
days we're all paranoid about security, etc. that all the nice stuff is 
turned off... Or should be!

However, if you're on a LAN/WAN at the company level then they can be made 
to work again, but outside a strictly controlled environment it's not 
going to be easy - unless you write something to do it yourself...
