- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.200
-
-
-
- o LISTSERV
-
- If the person is subscribed to a mailing list through a LISTSERV server,
- sending mail to the server with the line
- WHOIS <name>
- may catch the person. For example, listserv@buacca.bu.edu. This is an
- unlikely option. It also does not work with all listserv implementations.
-
- o Internet to America Online
-
- Creating the Internet version of an America Online address requires that
- you know the conversion rule. You ignore the case, remove the spaces, and
- add "@aol.com" to the end of the address. Thus, an America Online address
- "Jane Doe" becomes "janedoe@aol.com" (without the quotes, of course).
- Internet mail incoming to America Online is trucated at 27 kilobytes.

-
- Addresses overseas tend to have their components reversed. For
- example, @uk.ac.dund.mcs will work fine if you happen to be in
- UK domain, but not in the US or the rest of the world. Use
- @mcs.dund.ac.uk instead.

-
- Amherst College:
- Students, Faculty, Staff: userid@amherst.edu
- Usernames are of the form fmllllll (e.g., jqstudent), but
- truncated to 12 letters instead of 8.
-
- Amherst.edu has a finger daemon running, but it requires an exact
- username match (i.e. finger lastname@amherst.edu) doesn't work, as a
- rule. It's also worth trying usernames like flllllll in case the
- person in question didn't register their middle initial with the
- College.
-
-
- Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH):
-
- Flastname@Antioc.Antioch.Edu
-
- All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alum who request
- accounts can get them. Almost all follow First Initial lastname
- setup. Offices, such as ADMISSIONS, COOP etc have alias accounts.
- Best bet is to send mail to Postmaster or Laslow.
-
- Arizona State University:
- Academic Machines: Grad, Undergrad
- The phone book for ASU's Faculty/Students is available online

- out whether the user has an email address, finger their name
- at brown.edu. This will return their preferred phone number,
- address, and email address if they use it.
-
- You can also try looking for undergrads on: brownvm.brown.edu
- (brownvm.bitnet) Username is some random alphanumerics.
- CS: cs.brown.edu (userids are usually initials)
-
- Bryn Mawr College:
- F_LLLLLLLLLL@cc.brynmawr.edu (F_LLLLLLLLLL@BRYNMAWR.BITNET)
- The former is fingerable, unlike the .bitnet address. This
- machine is mostly used by undergrads.
-
- Bucknell University:
- general: username@bucknell.edu
- cs: username@pollux.bucknell.edu
- usernames are typically last names, but if the last name is
- 4 letters or shorter, the first and middle initials are
- tacked onto the front.
-
- First initials are frequently used in usernames. The
- first user with any given last name who gets an account gets just
- his last name as the username. Every subsequent person with that name
- gets a first initial and then middle initials are used.
-
- Example:
- username person
- -------- ------
- murray Betty Murray, switchboard operator
- dmurray David Murray, senior
- jmurray Jeff Murray, senior
- jemurray Jonathan Murray, freshman

- truebalt. There are about 15 machines on this cluster of
- Suns/NeXTs. The mail server is actually called
- cobalt.caltech.edu or cobalt.cco.caltech.edu (either one
- works). All of these are equally good.
- VMS: Juliet.caltech.edu. Also romeo,hamlet,iago,portia.
- These are all the same vax cluster.
-
- Undergrad Computer Science (also used by a lot of people who don't fit
- this discription. a fairly well used cluster. HP Bobcats
- running Unix).

- hard to guess.
- Students: flllllnn (first intitial, first 5 of last name,
- last 2 digits of student number; except lastnames starting with
- Dutch prefixes Van Vander Vande etc., where just the v and first 4
- letters of second part of lastname. Thus Henk Vander Bos, #123456,
- becomes hvbos56, Al Shoemaker, #987654, becomes ashoem54)
- (formerly s0###### where ###### is the student id number)
- Faculty/staff: xxxx@calvin.edu where "xxxx" is the standard
- faculty abbrevation, often lastname

- is slightly misspelled. Andrew usernames are two initials followed
- by two random characters. Mail to CS/RI may be sent to
- Fname.Lname@cs.cmu.edu. CS/RI usernames are arbitrary names selected
- by the user. If you wish to send to the username, add a + at
- the end of the name: mkant+@cs.cmu.edu
- bitnet.cc.cmu.edu (carnegie.bitnet) is the gateway to bitnet.
-
- The CMU.EDU domain name has now been enabled for use of the new

- is omitted if equal to 1. If there's no middle initial, m
- is an 'x'.
-
- skybridge.scl.cwru.edu is the server for the undergraduate
- computer lab. The user ids on that machine are the full last
- name, for the most part. (Mainly CS and EE's on this machine.)
-
- If a student is in the dorms, they have their own internet
- number, so you can FTP to their PC. Such machines are named
- b#####.student.cwru.edu where # is some digit.
-
- Catholic University of America

- Cornell University (Ithaca, New York):
- Anyone associated with Cornell full-time can get a CIT account
- (CIT manages the computing facilities on campus). Not everybody
- does so.
-
- As off fall 1992, undergrads are no longer given CornellA or
- Vax5 accounts as they were in the past. Instead, incoming students
- are given "network ids", which consist of first, middle and last
- initials, plus a number. Mail should be sent to
- network_id@cornell.edu. If the person's name is unique, mail can
- also be sent to firstname.lastname@cornell.edu.
-
- Email addresses can be searched by using finger on qi.cornell.edu.
- Use variations such as finger lastname@qi.cornell.edu or
- finger "firstname lastname"@qi.cornell.edu.
-
- Many upperclassmen have not switched over to the new mail system.
- These students still use mail on cornella.cit.cornell.edu or
- vax5.cit.cornell.edu. Usernames on these systems are randomly
- generated 3 or 4 character IDs, which do not resemble real names.
- [Actually, they are an (unknown) hash function of the student's
- social security number.]
-
- Some upperclass students who have network ids still only check mail
- on cornella and vax5. If they haven't set up autoforwarding, they
- will not receive mail sent to cornell.edu.
-
- Undergrads: crux1.cit.cornell.edu, crux2.cit.cornell.edu,
- crux3.cit.cornell.edu, vax5.cit.cornell.edu,

- there are many exceptions.
-
- Faculty and administrators who use QuickMail can generally be found
- as first_last@qmrelay.mail.cornell.edu.
-
- Postmaster won't give out addresses. Administrators do not give
- out usernames over the phone.
-
- Students' street addresses and phone numbers, as well as
- voluntarily-supplied email addresses (faculty and staff only), can
- be looked up in CUINFO. Telnet to cornellc.cit.cornell.edu, port 300,
- and type DIRECT.
-

- Please address questions to postmaster@dsuvax.dsu.edu.
-
- Dartmouth:
- Send mail to fname.lname@dartmouth.edu (or fname.mi.lname if
- it is a very common name). If the name is ambiguous, you might
- want to finger fname.mi.lname@dartmouth.edu for info about
- exact mail address. Dartmouth.Edu resolves all mail through
- the Dartmouth Name Directory, which stores preferred email
- addresses for all students, faculty, and staff members.
- If the name is unique, you can even send mail to
- name@dartmouth.edu. Most undergrads have accounts on
- mac.dartmouth.edu. Students who don't use any email address
- get the automatic default, @hinman.dartmouth.edu, which
- prints out the email and drops it into campus mail.
-
- Drake University:
- Host acad.drake.edu. 'finger' works but unfortunately userids don't
- closely correspond to names and you can't 'finger part-of-name' to
- guess the userid.
-
- Drew University (Madison, NJ):
- All students, faculty, and staff have accounts on drew.drew.edu
- (drew.bitnet). Whether they use them is another matter. Account
- names are usually of the form flllllll. In case of name collision,
- try fmllllll or fllllll#
-
- Drexel University
- General Computing Services: userid@duvm.ocs.drexel.edu
- consultant's desk telephone 215.895.2698
- Math and Computer Science : userid@mcs.drexel.edu
- where userid is of the form <prefix>fllllll; the prefix is u for
- undergraduate, g for graduate, or t for temporary.
-
- Duke:
- Undergrads, Grads, and many Faculty/Staff:
- The mail server is hercules.acpub.duke.edu. Mail to other machines
- will get forwarded to it. For usernames, people are allowed to
- select their own. However, the Engineering school has taken to
- setting up accounts for its students, grads, and ugrads, and uses
- initials (fml) with possibly a number in case of name conflict.
- Everyone else could have anything as their userid, though people are
- encouraged to use their first initial and last name.
- Bitnet gateway: dukemvs.bitnet (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu)
- Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu
- Physics profs are probably {initials}@physics.duke.edu
- Other machines: cs.duke.edu, egr.duke.edu, psych.duke.edu
- Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is
- fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing
- address. Usernames can be hard to discover;
- postmaster@faculty.law.duke.edu has volunteered to forward mail to
- Law School faculty and staff, and suggest
- postmaster@student.law.duke.edu might be willing to do the same for
- students.
-
- Earlham:
- Students, faculty, staff: FFFFFFFL@yang.earlham.edu
- Administration: FFFFFFFL@yin.earlham.edu
- Advanced computing students: FFFFFFFL@math.earlham.edu
- in the case of an 8-character first name, the userid is FFFFFFFF
- in the case of conflicts, the userid is FFFFFFLL, FFFFFLLL, etc.
- increasingly, students are being assigned userid's in the format:
- xxyz@yang.earlham.edu, where
- xx is the first two letters of the first name,
- y is the middle initial,
- z is the last name initial.
- Information can be sought via E-Mail from opr@yang.earlham.edu
- opr can get you directory info, or user info.
-
- Florida State University
- A very low percentage of students and faculty outside the science
- departments have accounts of any kind. Those that do are spread out
- on many servers with the fsu.edu domain.
-
- Most new non-science accounts are being created on
- garnet.acns.fsu.edu, though few students (or even faculty) are aware
- that they could get an account.
-
- To find a student or faculty member, two systems have been set up.
- Unfortunately, neither is working all the time and neither correctly
- locates all accounts.
- 1: email whitepages@wp.fsu.edu with the words
- whois "name"
- in the subject line, with no message body
- 2: whois -h mailer.cc.fsu.edu "name"
- Other than these two methods, it's very difficult to track someone
- down unless you know which server they're on (there are more than 50
- of them).
-
- Gallaudet University (for the Deaf), Washington, DC 20002
- GALLUA.GALLAUDET.EDU a VAX/VMS machine. Student usernames typically start
- with 11, 12, 13 or 14, with 11 being the most common.
- The rest of the username is first initial last name.
- Faculty and staff are typically first initial, middle
- initial, last name. The node is also reachable as
- GALLUA.BITNET.
- GALLUX.GALLAUDET.EDU a VAX/Ultrix (UNIX) machine. Not nearly as many users
- on this machine. Name conventions are the same as for
- GALLUA.
-
-
- Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech):
- All Users (faculty/staff/students): prism.gatech.edu
- (aka hydra.gatech.edu)
- Prism is a Yellow Pages/Mail domain to which all students,
- faculty and staff have access through accounts issued by
- the computer center. A number of users, especially faculty and
- graduate students in Computer Science, have access to departmental
- resources which are not part of the Prism domain. They may
- get their mail there, though typically people use prism as
- their main mail drop and forward it from there to their
- home systems.
-
- CS Dept (Faculty, staff, PhD students): gatech.edu, boa.gatech.edu
- user@cc.gatech.edu. (cc = College of Computing)
-
- Usernames:
- students: gtXXXXy (example: gt6953b)
- XXXX = last 4 digits of Campus PO Box
- y = A-E to make it unique (PO Boxes are shared, blaa)
- faculty/staff: first and last initial with numeric suffix to make
- it unique. (example: sh12)
-
- Accounts issued by other departments have different conventions,
- but users typically set up the appropriate forwarding addresses.
-
- Also try: username@hydra.gatech.edu,
-
- prism's postmaster will look up addresses so long as it does
- not become an onerous task.
-
- Most faculty and researchers have accounts on
- gtri01.gatech.edu (gtri01.bitnet), with usernames of up to 8
- characters of the format fllllll.
-

- Usernames are typically the first 8 letters of the person's last name,
- frequently with the first initial or first and middle added at the end
- (e.g., WILLIAMS, MILLERM, JOHNSOAS). As a result, it would be
- difficult to guess someone's username. The nodename is GRIN1.bitnet
- for all students and faculty; GRIN2.bitnet is for administrative
- staff. If you do not know the address of someone at Grinnell,
- please send a message to POSTMASTER@GRIN1.bitnet asking for help.
-

-
- Haverford:

-
- Harvard:
- Undergrads: @husc.harvard.edu, @husc9.uucp
- Also try: husc{2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11}, harvard.harvard.edu.
- Username is lastname, with a number appended in case of duplicates.
- During Summer '90, Harvard moved most undergrad and grad
- accounts to husc9 instead of husc4.
-
- Harvard now has a mail server, so fingering at
- husc.harvard.edu seems to work.
-
- All Harvard Medical School students now have accounts on
- student.med.harvard.edu. The system is relatively new,
- however, and the number who actually use them at this time
- appears to be small. The usernames are of the form
- fllllll@student.med.harvard.edu. This is a distributed PC
- system, and users are not fingerable.
-
- Harvard Law School students may have accounts on
- hulaw{1,2}.harvard.edu. These machines are fingerable, but
- usernames must be matched exactly to be found.
-

- CS faculty: lastname@jarthur.claremont.edu
- Other faculty: lastname@hmcvax.claremont.edu
