I'm not clear about the system you have. A wyse-50 is just a dumb terminal. Sure you can use a wyse-50 with any version of unix. But you say that your unix system comprises just a wyse-50 and a motherboard. That seems very strange. Virtually every version of unix will also require a mass storage device such as a disk.
But in any event, the info you posted is all about the wyse-50, so I guess that you are certain that the wyse-50 is failing.
Dumb terminals just don't cost enough to justify repairing them anymore. There are currently several wyse-60's for sale on EBAY for $10.00 each and no one is bidding.

NAME
chfn - change your finger information
SYNOPSIS
chfn [ -f full-name ] [ -o office ] [ -p office-phone ] [ -h home-phone ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ username ]
DESCRIPTION
chfn is used to change your finger information. This information is stored in the /etc/passwd file, and is displayed by the finger pro-
gram. The Linux finger command will display four pieces of information that can be changed by chfn : your real name, your work room and
phone, and your home phone.
COMMAND LINE
Any of the four pieces of information can be specified on the command line. If no information is given on the command line, chfn enters
interactive mode.
INTERACTIVE MODE
In interactive mode, chfn will prompt for each field. At a prompt, you can enter the new information, or just press return to leave the
field unchanged. Enter the keyword "none" to make the field blank.
