NCSA Telnet does almost all of these.

I think there no real easy solution. It is quit a pain to do that. Maclpd
is a lpr daemon on mac.

Finger is available. Ping is in TCPWatcher.

All of these is available at ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/mac/info-mac

For the TCP/IP Stack, it is avaible as MacTCP with System 7.5.x, and as
OpenTransport with any PCI Based PowerMacintosh or with System Update 2
(aka System 7.5.3) for every Macintosh.
If you have System 7.5, it is not a problem, it is on the diskettes.

You'll also need StuffIt Expander to decode/decompress all the stuff
you'll get from ftp.
