This is the second third of the summary of how to find email addresses
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at various
colleges and universities.

;;; ********************************


New Jersey Institute of Technology:
    Newark NJ 07021
    CS PhD Studs: [e-mail]
    Grad Studs:   [e-mail] (ultrix), [e-mail] (vms)

New Mexico Institute Of Mining And Technology:
    Try finger [e-mail] or finger [e-mail].  Jupiter is
    the main server;  CS students generally have accounts on
    minos.nmt.edu.  Accounts generally seem to be of the form FLLLLLLL.

New Mexico State Univ.:
    Virtually all email addresses are of the form [e-mail]. Finger
    is not well supported. Mail to postmaster should help. (Also, if you
    have an account, there is a postmaster program.)

New York University (NYU)
    Addresses for students at NYU are fml####@acfcluster.nyu.edu, where f,
    m, l are first, middle, last initials and #### are the last four
    digits of the social security number.  All students and staff can get
    limited mail accounts by requesting them.  Some users have nicknames:
    lastname, or lllllf, or lllllff.

North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC)    Changed: Mon Jul  5 1993
    Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger.
      All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.
    Faculty/Staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming
      convention for faculty accounts.
    Graduate Students: accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu. login names are
      gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the
      person first or last name will also work.
    All engineers have accounts on eos.ncsu.edu
    Most undergraduate id's are [e-mail]
    College of textiles comp. center: [e-mail]

North Dakota Network
    This section describes how to find email addresses for students who
    attend Public Colleges and Universities in North Dakota.

    ND HECN PLAINS  (@plains.bitnet) -or- (@plains.nodak.edu)
    This is a Unix system.  All userids are given out according to last
    name or possibly a first initial added in front.  You are able to
    finger these accounts.

    ND HECN CMS  (@ndsuvm1.bitnet) -or- (@vm1.nodak.edu)
    This is a VM/SP (CMS) system. Userids are a bit more complicated here...
    The ND HECN (No-Dak Higher Education Computer Network) consists of the
    following schools..  Their 2-letter school code follows.
       Bismarck State College (BJ)      North Dakota State University (NU)
       University of North Dakota (UD)  Dickinson State College (DS)
       Williston State College (WS)     Bottineau State College (BT)
       Lake Region Community College (LR)  Valley City State College (VC)
       Mayville State College (MV)      Minot State College (MN)
       State School of Science (SS)
    Userids given out prior to (approximately) August 1991 are assigned a
    userid according to the following:  Userids are in the form of
    LL######.  LL is the "School Code" (see above).  The #'s are the first
    6 digits of the user's NAID number.

    Userids given out after August 1991 are assigned according to last
    name, or with part of their first name in front if the account is
    already taken.  They are trying to give you the same userid as your
    plain's id (if you have one). Also, people with the 'old id' can
    request to have their account renamed to the new format.  You are able
    to finger accounts on ndsuvm1, but as of 02-26-92 student names are
    not yet available to finger. (It will tell you if the account at least
    exists tho).  Faculty/Staff names are available to finger.  Each
    college has an 'administrative' account with the form LL0ADMIN.  (LL =
    School Code).  I don't know if they will give out userids, but it's
    worth a try.

    UND School of Medicine: try [e-mail] for
    staff and faculty;  no student accounts as of Fall 1992.  For help
    finding someone, try 'finger' or contact
    [e-mail]

Northeastern:                    Changed: Mon Jul  5 1993
    Finger [e-mail] where <name> is a first-name,
      last-name, or username.  All students, faculty, staff, and alumni
      can have accounts, but they have to be requested.
    Student usernames are usually flllllll, but many students pick there
      own variations.  Many students never log in again once their class
      is through.

Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA)
    You can use any of the following ways to locate people at Northern
    Arizona University.  If one doesn't work, try the next.  NOTE: not
    everyone at NAU has an electronic mailbox.
    1. finger [e-mail]
       where PERSON is any part of a person's name that you know.  You may
       have to use quotes, as in: finger "Jane Doe"@info.nau.edu. This is a
       "white pages" style database.  For more help on this system: finger
       @info.nau.edu
    2. mail [e-mail]
       where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are the person you're trying to reach.
       You may need to specify FIRSTNAME.MIDDLEINITIAL.LASTNAME
    3. send mail to the site postmaster:  mail [e-mail]
       Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. [e-mail] for
       the Computer Science and Engineering department.

Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL)    Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
    Encore MultiMax (mp.cs.niu.edu).  CSCI students may have accounts on
      this UNIX-based machine if their classes require it.  Class accounts
      are of the form 'T90nnnn' where 'nnnn' is a randomly-assigned
      four-digit number.  Undergraduate and graduate TA's may have
      accounts of the form 'T90fml1', where f=first initial, m=middle
      initial, and l=last initial.  Substitute the letter 'X' for a
      missing middle initial.  Older TA's may have an '8' or '9'
      substituted for the '1'.  Students who work for Academic Computing
      Services, or are of a major other than CSCI, may also have accounts.
      Use 'finger' for more info.
    CSCI LAN (csci.niu.edu) All CSCI faculty members and some graduate
      students have accounts on this Novell LAN of the form 'T90fml1',
      same as above.
    Amdahl 5890 (vm.cso.niu.edu) CSCI students may have accounts on this
      mainframe running MVS and VM if their classes require it.  Class
      accounts are of the form 'T90nnnn', same as above.  All TA's have an
      account of the form 'T90fml1'.

Northwestern:                    Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
    General e-mail services are shared by casbah.acns.nwu.edu and
      merle.acns.nwu.edu.  Merle is in full production as of the beginning
      of 1993, although there are not yet that many accounts on it.  This
      will change.  Both Casbah and Merle support finger requests.
    If you have access to a PH electronic database client, you can use
      ns.nwu.edu for a ph-nameserver.  Users must personally register an
      e-mail address in this database for a query to provide one -- it is
      not done automatically.  If you do not have access to a PH client,
      the default PH-based address is <[e-mail]> where the default
      alias is f-lastname (first initial-last name).  Many people choose
      to remove the hyphen or replace the default alias with their
      initials, or just about anything else.  The default is a good thing
      to try, because if it fails for any reason, PH responds with fairly
      complete information, in plain english, including other possible
      aliases, if there is a conflict.

Norwegian Institute of Technology: see University of Trondheim

Novosibirsk State Technical Univ.:        Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Russia, Novosibirsk 630092, K. Marx Prospekt 20
    Usernames can be hard to discover; [e-mail] is willing
      to be helpful in tracking usernames.

Oakland University (Rochester, MI)        Changed: Thu Mar 25 1993
    Hosts: vela.acs.oakland.edu, argo.acs.oakland.edu
    Many departments maintain their own systems but their users usually
      have accounts on either vela or argo as well.
    Userids: Students: FMlastname   Faculty: Lastname
    Finger: on vela, use any portion of the name.  On argo, you can only
      finger the userid.


Oberlin (Oberlin, Ohio):            Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
    Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvaxa, which can be
      reached as ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. Administrative staff members have
      accounts on ocvaxc, which can be reached as ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu.
      This is an internet-only site.
    Student User IDs are of the form: S+first & last initials + last 4
      digits of the student ID (e.g. SDG1234)
    Faculty IDs are of the form: F + lastname.
    Best bet is to send mail to [e-mail]
    CS students/faculty: occs.cs.oberlin.edu (student usernames are mostly
      last names, occasionally with a first initial to disambiguate;
      faculty and staff are generally 3 initials).
    You can also send mail to postmaster.

Ohio State University:
    Faculty, Staff, Graduate students: [e-mail]
    CS Students, Faculty and Staff: cis.ohio-state.edu, with
    username lastname, fllllll, llllll-f, fml, firstname or lllll-fm.
    Faculty and staff are mostly first or last name.

    Also, some students have their accounts aliased so that
    you can send mail/finger to lastname.#@osu.edu
    where # is required and is anything from 1 on up to infinity
    (these numbers can get very large for names like Smith, i.e. in
    the thousands). "whois -h osu.edu" and telneting to osu.edu should
        also work.

Ohio University (Athens OH):
    CS (UNIX): [e-mail]
    CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu
    EE (grad students): [e-mail], @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu
    Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET
    Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET

Oklahoma State/Stillwater:
    [e-mail]

Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology:
    Only Graduate Students. Their host, ogccse, is @cse.ogc.edu.
    This recently changed to cse.ogi.edu.

Oregon State:
    CS: mist.cs.orst.edu, prism.cs.orst.edu

Oxford University (Oxford, England):        Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
    Telnet to info.ox.ac.uk, which presents you with an online information
      system, one of whose subsystems is an electronic mail directory
      showing all authorized users who are willing to be so listed.
    Host: vax.ox.ac.uk

Penn State Univ.:                Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Domain: psu.edu
    The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other things, the
      entire student, staff, and faculty directory.  To use EBB, connect
      to psuvm.psu.edu from an Internet-connected site using tn3270 (You
      can also telnet to cac3270.psu.edu if you do not have a 3270
      emulator, but will have to supply a terminal type).  After the
      initial logon screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen
      will clear.  Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and you will get the
      top-level EBB menu, one item of which is "DIRECTORY".  Typing "dir"
      and RETURN will select the university directory.  The rest should be
      obvious, but for a couple of other points: EBB assumes you're using
      an IBM terminal, and displays help in the form of PF keys to move
      around, etc.  A simple "+" serves to scroll ahead, and "-" moves
      backward. Typing the RETURN key alone will back up one level of
      menus, so typing RETURN repeatedly will ultimately close the
      connection.

    All system names end with ".poly.edu", e.g.  'finger @Poly-TS.poly.edu'
    Most login names begin with first initial then first seven character
      of last name.  Most undergrad users would be on george, gracie,
      ishara, tasha and worf systems.

Pomona College (Claremont, CA):
    Internet: [e-mail] (bitnet [e-mail])

        Usernames are the first character of the first name, followed
    by the full last name (John Doe would be JDOE).  In case of conflicts,
    the middle initial is used between first and last name. (If JDOE
    already has an account, James A. Doe would be JADOE).  Finger works.

Portland State University (Portland, Oregon):
    Students: odin.cc.pdx.edu

Princeton:                    Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
    Undergrads: phoenix.princeton.edu, pucc.princeton.edu (VM)
    pucc.bitnet. (Both phoenix and pucc are now fingerable.)
    CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu
    CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu
    Math Dept: math.princeton.edu

    You can also try fingering at princeton.edu.

    Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL

Purdue:                        Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
    At Purdue, engineering students (undergrad/grad) have accounts on
    machines on the Engineering Computer Network (ECN).  There are
    hundreds of machines, but the main ones are named according to a
    fairly discernible system, i.e.

    e?.ecn.purdue.edu = Electrical    c?.ecn.purdue.edu = Civil
    k?.ecn.purdue.edu = Chemical    g?.ecn.purdue.edu = Nuclear/Aero
    m?.ecn.purdue.edu = Mechanical    p?.ecn.purdue.edu = Potter Library

    In each case, "?" is one of 'a', 'b', 'c', etc..check your local host
    tables or nameserver for a current list.  Undergrads usually end up on
    the 'n' series of machines... en, mn, cn, and gn.

    Effective 10/16/90, mail to ecn hosts need only be labeled with the
    local domain. For example, [e-mail]. Mail sent there will
    automatically be forwarded to the users mailbox.

    Usernames on ecn machines are assigned according to user preferences.
    Try the usual (initials, fllllll, first name, last name, etc.). You
    can send mail to ecn.purdue.edu (which will forward it to the
    appropriate machine). Also, if your finger supports arguments, doing a
    'finger -l lastname' will find people by name regardless of account.

    Other students (CS, math/stat, and science majors) usually have
    accounts on machines operated by the Purdue University Computing
    Center (PUCC).  These machines are all in the ".cc.purdue.edu"
    subdomain.  Many usernames are based on the user's last name and
    initials, but many still use three letter/number combinations which
    have nothing to do with the user's name.  Computing center staff
    usernames are either a name chosen by the user, or a three-letter
    combination beginning with "a".  Additionally, "finger" with a name
    argument will find all people with that name, so try "finger -l
    lastname".

    Students are found on the 'instructional' machines; the
    distribution of major courses is approximately like this:

    expert  = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
    sage    = more low-level courses, first semester CS
    feserve = freshman engineering courses and some CS courses
    sonata  = some Math and CS courses
    mentor  = most other CS courses

    Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
    expert or sage, since there are many smaller groups to which accounts
    are issued.  Also, any Purdue student may obtain a student personal
    account on one of these machines.

    Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC machines, but
    speedy, rapid, and swift are the most likely places to find them.
    Staff can always be reached through 'staff' regardless of where they
    have their accounts.

    In addition to those, there is an IBM mainframe which is found on the
    Internet as vm.cc.purdue.edu or on BITNET as PURCCVM.  It is used
    primarily by research users and Computer Technology majors, and
    students taking statistics courses.  Some student personal accounts
    are also on this machine Usernames are either based on the person's
    real name or Xyyy where yyy is a 3-character PUCC ID.

    Graduate CS students are found on machines in the ".cs.purdue.edu"
    subdomain, including "arthur", "mordred", "merlin", and other machines
    named after characters from the Arthurian legends.  Mail to
    cs.purdue.edu usually works.

    Veterinary students are found on machines in the ".vet.purdue.edu"
    subdomain; these machines are named after animals or other vet terms
    e.g. "dog", "goat", "pharm"...Agricultural/Agronomy Engineering
    students are found on machines in the ".acn.purdue.edu" subdomain;
    these include "harvest", "barn", etc...Some folks in chemistry can be
    found on machines in the ".chem.purdue.edu" subdomain; many of these
    are named after items from the Dr. Who series, e.g. "doctor",
    "tardis", "k9"...Some folks in psychology can be found on machines in
    the ".psych.purdue.edu" subdomain; these machines are named after
    Latin/South American countries, e.g. "peru", "brazil", "mexico",
    "panama"...Some folks in biology can be found on machines in the
    ".bio.purdue.edu" subdomain; some of these machines are named after
    Tolkien characters, e.g. "bilbo", "gollum"...Some folks in physics can
    be found on machines in the ".physics.purdue.edu" subdomain; these
    machines are named after physicists, e.g. "maxwell", "newton"... The
    Krannert School of Management is in the .mgmt subdomain, with hosts
    zeus and hera. Most management students will be found on a PUCC
    machine.

Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
    Faculty and staff: [e-mail].
      Unfortunately you have to spell the name exactly as in the Personnel
      records.  This is an IBM mainframe machine with no Finger server.
    Computing and Information Science: finger [e-mail], where x
      is lastname or firstname.

Reed College:
    [e-mail], where username is of the form flllllll

Rice University (Houston, TX)            Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
    Finger [e-mail], where name is firstname or lastname.  This
      is an online copy of the campus directory, giving surface address
      and phone number (not e-mail address).  Telephoning people is an
      excellent and efficient way to find their e-mail addresses.
    All students may request Owlnet accounts; try finger
      [e-mail] (GNU finger daemon).
    All students are given accounts on the rice mainframe computer, though
      off-campus access is still restricted for these accounts unless given
      permission.  The address is @ricevm1.rice.edu and userid's are of the
      form fllllnn, so John Smith is [e-mail].  Finger
      name@ricevm1 works for some accounts but a negative response from it
      is not definitive
    Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user.
      Try department machines frst for faculty, staff, and grad students,
      and Owlnet first for undergrads.  Append ".rice.edu" to these names.

    Computer Science: [e-mail].  Sometimes anaXXXX where
       n appears literally and means "no middle initial".  Profs'
       accounts omit the XXXX.
    Rumour has it that some UNIX accounts on other machines within
    the rit.edu domain use just last 4 digits of SSN, but recent
    correspondents from RIT don't know of any such machines.

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology: Terre Haute, IN
        There are three major systems on which students are given accounts:
          - Academic VAXcluster: rosevc.rose-hulman.edu

Rutgers:                    Changed: Mon Jul  5 1993
    Rutgers has a whitepages server, so you can do:
        whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname"
      to find email addresses.  If the user has an email address it will
      explicitly indicate "Email:".  The "Userid" field is *NOT* an email
      address.  Not everyone with an email address has put it in the
      directory.
    Other ways to find email addresses at Rutgers: There are many
      departmental machines, but these are a few common ones.  Usernames
      are usually "llllllll" but some are "fllllll" etc.

      available through an X.500 directory service, which can be accessed
      via the finger program: finger [e-mail], where f is the
      first name and l is the last name.
    Computing Science and allied units also maintain a separate subdomain
      cs.sfu.ca (Centre for Systems Science).  Users generally have the
      same accounts on this domain as they do on the CCN.

Stanford:                    Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Stanford has implemented a finger service for its whois database.  Try
    "finger [e-mail]" first -- most students and lots of staff
    and faculty now have their e-mail addresses registered with this
    service.  Name can be lastname, or for better results flllll or
    fmllllll.

    Alternatively, this service can be accessed via whois:

    whois -h stanford.edu name

    If that doesn't work, most students (and lots of staff and faculty)
    have accounts on leland.stanford.edu.  The finger daemon on leland
    was turned off by December 1992;  try its various clients: elaine0
    through elaine53(.stanford.edu)

    JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would
    have JSMITH1.

    We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it
    easier to find people.  This record will be updated when that occurs.

        isn't used.

SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY)        Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
    In order to contact someone at SUNY-Binghamton you'll have to give
      them a call; there is no way of figuring out a student's address
      given their name, as the mapping is random (sequential in the order
      people apply for accounts).
    Undergrads: [e-mail] where X is a letter
      depending on what year they got their account: 91/92: A 92/93: B(?);
      NNNNN are random digits, almost always starting with 0; HOSTNAME is
      either bingvaxa (VMS), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw
      (IBM).  Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and
      bgNNNN@bingvmb.
    Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those
      in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns.
    An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available;
        telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu

        security number.
    General Computing Center (students): [e-mail]

    ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there.
    Recently, however, more people are getting accounts on acsu,
    the Unix system.

    Engineering Students: [e-mail]
    EE Students: [e-mail]
    CS Dept: [e-mail] ([e-mail])

    The usernames for the acsu, cs (and possibly eng) seems to be formed
    by something appoximating the following rules:
      1) If lastname is <=8 character,
          1.1) if it does not already exist as a username,
              then username=lastname. (eg. smith)
          1.2) else
              username is first initial + lastname (eg. jsmith)
      2) If lastname is too long, and a middle initial exists,
          then username is initials (eg. jcs)
      3) If lastname is too long but no middle initial exists,
          then username is the first 5 chars of the last name, a -, and
          then the initial. (eg. James Smithenson would be smith-j).

    The cs and acsu domains share mail alias files, so mail to a username
    at either cs.buffalo.edu or acsu.buffalo.edu will arrive at the user
    in the same mailbox.

    There are also geog (Geography), arch (Architecture) and med
    (Medicine) domains.

            suvm.acs.syr.edu    (IBM 3090/CMS)
    suvm.acs.syr.edu and sunrise.syr.edu are run by the SU Computing
      Services. Undergrads usually have accounts on sunrise (which is a
      VAX VMS cluster). Both hosts are on bitnet as suvm and sunrise.
    The pattern for all these hosts is: first-initial + middle-initial +
      as much of the last name as possible.

    White-Pages: "finger [e-mail]" will search the online catalog
      white pages for a registered user that has his/her information public.
      Mutliple matches produces multiple output.  "finger @syr.edu" for more
      details.  The same information is available via a BITNET directory
      server ([e-mail]), through PSI's X.500 project, and through
      whois -h syr.edu
    Phone Book: The Syracuse Phone book has the same e-mail addresses as
      are available in the White pages, but as it's only printed once a
      year they are usually out of date.  Dialing [phone] is campus
      information;  if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people
      there will be happy to give it out.
    [e-mail]  -- If the username exists, and that person
      doesn't mind having it handed out, this userid will check into it
      beforehand and reply via mail.

Swarthmore:                    Changed: Tue Aug  3 1993

      their last name.  A '1' (one) is appended in most cases, though for
      duplicates the number is incremented. To find people, send mail to
      postmaster. You can also finger people by their last name.
    As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at

Tampere Univ. of Technology (Tampere, Finland):    Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Host: tut.fi.  Finger available.

Texas A&M University:

    All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous
    set of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than
    30% of the student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The
    format of the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and ####
    is the last four digits of the SSN.  If a student has no middle
    initial then '0' (Zero) is used.  These domain is "tamu.edu" and the
    machine could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa,
    sigma, etc.
        General Unix:         tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu,
                    tamsun.tamu.edu

    The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu".  The
    statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu".  The username format on these
    machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll.  Some old accounts may have
    first names or last names only.
    The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu.

    There are about a million other departmental machines with varying
    names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu".

        vm1 is also known as akronvm.bitnet
    Most students and faculty have accounts on either of these machines.
    Usernames are usually r1 for faculty, r2 for graduate
    students, and r3 for undergrads, followed by first, middle,
    and last initials. (If the student doesn't have a middle
    initial it is omitted.) Naming conflicts are resolved by
    adding a digit to the end of the userid (e.g., 1, 2, ... 9).

    for example: mine is [e-mail]...

    Userid's normally begin with the first two letters of the
    person's major (el = electrical, me = mechanical) followed by
    4 digits to make 6 digit userid. Undergrads are given id's of
    form bsxxxx.

    Math Department machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad

      3 is Fairbanks and affiliates
    However, a person with enough access can use other campus' computers.

    acad2 and acad3 (.alaska.edu) can be fingered (usernames only - VMS
      finger).  Fingering these computers will not tell you the person's
      name.
    There are also other computers in the alaska.edu domain.  SX accounts
      (computer system administrators and testing accounts) usually are on
      orca.alaska.edu and also on at least one of the acadO's. orca cannot
      be fingered.
    A student, faculty, or staff member can request an account on
      camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu, also. This computer can also be fingered.
    Other computers in alaska.edu may not use this username assignment,
      but orca.alaska.edu and camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu do.

Univ. of Arizona:
    Historically computer access at the UA had been limited to students,
    faculty and staff who had either a job, or a class which required a
    computer. Recently the Unix Users Group at the University of Arizona
    began providing General Access Systems for no charge to UA students.

    The machines are configured from donated, loaned and retired equipment
    and managed by volunteer effort. As a volunteer effort, there is not
    time to respond to postmaster requests for usernames so please do not
    send address requests to the postmaster. Use the finger utility
    instead; it will respond to "real name" requests (in the following
    "gas" means "gas.uug.arizona.edu"):

    finger -l kennedy@gas gotobed@gas |grep "Login name:"
    Login name: bjk                   In real life: Brian J. Kennedy
    Login name: kennedys              In real life: Steven A Kennedy
    Login name: jgotobed              In real life: Joe Gotobed

    While we are attempting to support a rational username policy, it is
    not foolproof as this example shows. If the finger info returns
    nothing, the person has no account on these systems.

    Due to limited disk capacity, ( < 1Mb per account) the usage is
    limited primarily to internet news, telnet, ftp and email.  There are
    currently about 500 students and a capacity of about 3,000 accounts.
    While accounts are currently limited to students, we expect to provide
    access to the general staff & faculty sometime in the spring of 1993.

    There are nearly a hundred subdomains at the University, each with
    their own access policies, username assignments and email schemes. If
    the finger utility does not reveal the address of a friend, a phone
    call to them asking for their address is probably the most efficient
    way to discover it.

    Many faculty and staff are on ccit.arizona.edu.  If someone tells you
    they are on "cosy" or "icosy," forget it; you can't send mail to them
    (although they can send mail to you).

    Undergrads in Computer Science are on caslon.cs.arizona.edu.
    Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; try
    evax2.engr.arizona.edu.

    Grad students and Faculty are usually given accounts on their
    department/college systems.  Try math.arizona.edu;
    physics.arizona.edu; mis.arizona.edu; cs.arizona.edu, etc.

    In the School of Business, you can try FirstinitialLastname (e.g.
    RReagan) @bpa.arizona.edu with very good success.  If
    FirstinitialLastname is ambiguous, a username might be
    LastnameFirstinitial instead. (Main site was mis.arizona.edu until
    late 1992).  On BITNET send mail to [e-mail]

    Arizona.EDU is the campus mail gateway, but only those who ask get
    aliases on Arizona.EDU.  You could try [e-mail] if you
    suspect the person you want uses EMAIL a lot.

Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP

Univ. of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
    Domain ubc.ca.  Public accounts might be on unixg.ubc.ca.
    Computer Science is cs.ubc.ca

Univ. of Calgary
        General (Students/Faculty): @acs.ucalgary.ca
    CS students/faculty: @cpsc.ucalgary.ca
    for all faculty,  staff,  grads,  undergrads
    - often last name, or first name, or initials. or last name
    followed by initials.

Univ. of California/Berkeley:            Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993
    Undergraduates in General: uclink.berkeley.edu or ocf.berkeley.edu
    Faculty, staff, and graduate students can also get accounts on
      ocf.berkeley.edu.
    Undergrad CS/EE, 1st Year Grad: cory.berkeley.edu (This is for
      undergrad juniors and seniors and first year graduate students. Most
      other graduate students have their own workstations. For freshmen
      and sophomores, one must look for a class account or ocf public
      cluster. Undergrads now have to pay for accounts on cory, so fewer
      people will be using it.)  soda and ucsee are run by students (CS
      Undergrad Association and UC Society of EEs, respectively).
    First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.berkeley.edu or
      xcssun.berkeley.edu. antipodes.berkeley.edu
    CS Faculty, Grads, Staff: cs.berkeley.edu (aliases mail address)
    CS Grad Students: snake.cs.berkeley.edu.  Good systems to try are (all
      .cs.berkeley.edu or .berkeley.edu) sprite, harmony, sequoia, larch,
      robotics, postgres, and ginger. tenet.icsi.berkeley.edu also has
      some CS grad students on it.  Many machines in the department are
      now foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are.
    EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation
    Janus will be going away soon, as will ucbarpa.  Many csgrads will
      have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which will eventually support
      finger.  Systems to try for grad students are (all .berkeley.edu):
      sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger.
      Soon, these will be moved into the cs.berkeley.edu subdomain instead
      of berkeley.edu subdomain (ie, you'd finger @sprite.cs.berkeley.edu).
      This will happen soon, but hasn't happened yet.
    Names for the above accounts are usually, but not always, combinations
      of the user's real first, middle and last names and/or initials.
      However, finger will search the "real name" field as well as the
      account name.
    There are many class accounts (which all students get). These are
      found on web.berkeley.edu,bard.berkeley.edu, and
      xcssun.berkeley.edu. zooey, buddy, franny, and seymour too, except
      they're being retired. Danube, amazon, congo, po, and volga and a
      cluster of stars (named after stars) are supposed to be the
      replacements. web and buddy hold classes that freshmen and
      sophomores often take. seymour and franny are often used for classes
      for business majors.
    Class account usernames are typically cnnn-mxx or ennn-mxx, where 'c'
      or 'e' denotes CS or EE, nnn is the course number, m is the section
      number (not always used), and xx are two letters.
    Statistics class accounts are of the form s#xxxx, where # is the class
      number and xxxx is some string of alphabetic characters. These
      accounts live on gandalf.berkeley.edu. Statistics cluster computers
      are named after Tolkien characters.
    qal.berkeley.edu is used for courses in "practical computer use"
      (taught by the anthropology department).  Account names are 193xxx,
      where xxx is the last name of the user.
    Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu
    Stat Department: stat.berkeley.edu
    Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu
    Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu
    Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu
    School of Education:  soe.berkeley.edu
    Other machines to try: ucbvax.berkeley.edu
    garnet.berkeley.edu and violet.berkeley.edu are the most likely place
      for a pay-for-use account. Some departments maintain accounts on
      these machines for faculty and staff, though, so these machines are
      the place to try for faculty affiliated with departments that have
      no real computing facilities. Almost anyone on campus can pay for an
      account on these machines.
    Some of the class accounts are also on congo. Generally addresses for
      the first semester classes are:
      CS 60A - c60a-__@danube
      CS 3 - c3-1a__@amazon or c3-1b__@congo
    School administration has set up the computer uclink.berkeley.edu, for
      staff or students who want an account (they can keep it for the time
      that they are there).  It's supposedly on a pilot program, but many
      students are getting accounts there.  As of summer 1993 it is
      expanding rapidly to cover all faculty, staff, and students.
    Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
    [e-mail] should be considered as a last
      choice when looking from someone electronically.

Univ. of California/Davis:
    @ucdavis.edu -- works if you know their account name
       userids are of the form fmlllll.
    @clover.ucdavis.edu -- works for anyone in the CS department
        whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>
    CS: [e-mail]
    Engineering/CS: [e-mail]
            or [e-mail]

Univ. of California/Irvine:
    CS Undergrads: bonnie.ics.uci.edu
        Mail sometimes restricted; policy has changed several times.
        Userid usually FLLLLLLL (8 char max); sometimes FFFFFFFL.
    CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu
        Faculty userids are usually their last names, sometimes
        initials, a few firstname only.  Grads usually FLLLLLLL,
        some lastname only.  Staff sometimes firstname, sometimes lastname.
    Other departments: mostly grads; userids usually lastname.
       Biology dept: sanger.bio.uci.edu
       EE: balboa.eng.uci.edu
       Physics dept: skid.ps.uci.edu
       Social sciences: ss.uci.edu
    Try fingering [e-mail] (for XX=ics,sanger.bio, etc.)

    There are two types of accunts on orion.oac.uci.edu:
    (1) Staff in the Office of Academic Computing
    (2) Students
    Staff userids on orion are usually FLLLLLLL, 8 char max.  The student
    accounts on orion are different, though.  Any student can get an orion
    account, but not a lot do.  The userids for these accounts are seven
    characters as follows: first "ea", then two characters representing
        major and grad vs. undergrad status, respectively,
    (e.g., i = information & computer science, u = undergrad),
    then three random digits.  Non-staff orion users tend to use
    their accounts infrequently because of usage limits.

Univ. of California/Los Angeles (UCLA):
    CS: @cs.ucla.edu @oahu.cs.ucla.edu
      MATH: @math.ucla.edu, @sonia.math.ucla.edu, @oak.math.ucla.edu
        (graduate students, staff, faculty)
    EE grads & faculty: ee.ucla.edu (network of RTs and SUNs
       running unix. Each machine has the name of a famous
       engineer:  watt.ee.ucla.edu, joule.ee.ucla.edu, etc)
       Usernames vary; try fname, lastname,...
    AGSM: @agsm.ucla.edu  @uclagsm
          (Anderson Graduate School of Management)
          All of students , staffs and faculty have their user ID.
          User ID: FLLLLLLL (max 8 characters)
    Class Accounts: pic.ucla.edu (PIC = program in computing)
       These get cleared every quarter. Account names are usually
       the course number followed by three letters chosen by the student.
       If you finger @laguna.pic.ucla.edu, you get more detailed
       info, such as when the user last logged on, etc.
    Engineering: seas.ucla.edu  This is a server for a network for
       the school of engineering and applied sciences. Any engineering
       graduate student can get an account on it, and many undergrads
       have accounts on it for classes. This machine has access to
       USENET.
    Anybody: oac.ucla.edu  An IBM 3090.  Anyone in UCLA can get an
       open access account on this to send mail, etc.  Account
       names on this machine are terribly cryptic (such as IZZYR33).

Univ. of California/Santa Cruz:
    Undergrads: ucscb.ucsc.edu
    Other hosts include ucsc{c-e,o}.ucsc.edu, ucscvm.ucsc.edu, etc.  All
    these hosts (except for ucscb) are on bitnet as the first part of
    their domain name.
    A new host, cats.ucsc.edu, has been added as the mail address for
    UCSC's version of Athena. Users can be fingered by username, first
    name, or last name. Undergrads, grads, faculty, and some staff may
    have accounts on cats.  Users choose their own IDs, so you must use
    finger to get an account name.
    As of late fall 1992, the name space of cats and ucscb have been
    merged, so that almost all students have the same userid on both
    systems.  However, there are (and will likely always be) separate
    accounts on the 2 systmes that use the same name - so there will
    remain differences between mailing to SomeAddress@cats and
    SomeAddress@ucscb.

Univ. of California/San Diego (UCSD):
    The primary mail gateway is ucsd.edu. This machine also has a
    smart finger program, which will look up names that sound similar
    to the one you fingered. Just "finger [e-mail]".

    Most usernames are the initial of the first name followed by the
    last name, truncated to 8 characters, ie. "[e-mail]", but
    this is not always the case (because most people don't like their
    names truncated).

    Machine sdcc13 houses the student personal accounts at present, but
    mail to ucsd.edu will reach (almost) everyone on sdcc13.ucsd.edu.

    If the person is a graduate student, faculty member, or staff
    member try: weber (social sciences), cogsci (guess), bend
    (linguistics), crl (some developmental psychology people).

    Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
    accounts.  Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.

Univ. of Central Florida (Orlando)
    CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger
      [e-mail]
    Engineering: finger [e-mail]
    General: ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu.  (A bitnet node, so you cannot finger)

Univ. of Chicago:                Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993
    Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)
      (midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines
      named quads, ellis, and kimbark (.uchicago.edu). When midway
      refuses connections, finger at one of the others.)
    Grads and faculty may also be on quads, ellis, or kimbark.
    CS Grads: gargoyle.uchicago.edu
    Math: zaphod.uchicago.edu
    Education: paideia.uchicago.edu
    Chemistry: pico.uchicago.edu
    Astronomy: oddjob.uchicago.edu (finger lastname)
    Social sciences (Economics, History, Sociology, Political Science):
      cicero.spc.uchicago.edu [also accepts 'finger']
    Also Try: uchep.uchicago.edu

    Many researchers have accounts on rainbow.uchicago.edu, in
      addition to having accounts on their own workstations.
    The University of Chicago now (fall91) runs the ph mail
      system, so sending mail to [e-mail] will
      work if they've entered a real mailbox into their ph entry.
      In case of name conflict, add additional initials beyond the
      first. Questions should be directed to [e-mail].
      Unfortunately few people bother to input their e-mail addresses.

Univ. of Chile (Universidad de Chile) (in Santiago, Chile, South America):
    Mathematics and Physical Sciences Campus (includes engineering)
      All students that ask for an account can get one on araucaria:
        araucaria.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP), uchcecvm.bitnet (IBM 390)
      All students that have a class involving computers get an account on:
        cipres.cec.uchile.cl    (Sun 690MP)
      Professors, researchers, and research assistents:
        tamarugo.cec.uchile.cl  (Sun 690MP)
    Computer Science (Departamento Ciencia de la Computacion)
      All Computer Science students and professors have an account on:
        dcc.uchile.cl           (Sun 4/470)
      Professors, researchers, and grad students of Computer Science
        tortel.dcc.uchile.cl    (Sun SS II)
      For more information access the gopher server (using normal gopher
      access or telnet/rlogin with login name "gopher") on tortel.

Univ. of Colorado/Boulder:            Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993
    Finger [e-mail], where name is lastname, firstname, or
      firstname-lastname.  At the upper right of the directory information
      is a username and machine; their address is then
      [e-mail]
    Telnet to directory.colorado.edu, using username "directory".
    This lets you access the online phonebook/email address book.

Univ. of Connecticut:
    uconn.edu
    [e-mail]
    CS Undergrads: ug1.eng1.uconn.edu
    CS Grads and Faculty: cse1.cse.uconn.edu
    CS Research and Grads: sparc0.brc.uconn.edu

Univ. of Copenhagen (Dennmark):            Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
