- X.500 service at King's College
-
- TELNET SUN.NSF.AC.UK or 128.86.8.7
- login: janet
- hostname: uk.ac.kcl.dir
-
- You are connected to the King's directory service. This interface
- currently only allows you to query the King's database by person's name.
-
- Enter the person's name (or "?" for help, "q" to quit): ?
-
- You will be prompted for the surname of the person you are looking for.
-
- No department need be specified, as all departments within King's are
- searched.
-
- You do not have to enter complete names: for example, entering the string
- "Smith" would also find entries for "Greensmith", "Smithy" and so on.
- Upper/lower case is not significant in searches.
-
- Of course the less information you provide, the more names will be matched
- by your query. If the person whose telephone number you are seeking has a
- relatively common name, the directory may well return more names than you
- can easily sift through and the message
-
- "there are too many results to print"
-
- will appear.
