Knowbot Information Service
at nri.reston.va.us
TELNET "132.151.1.1" 185
or whatever it takes for you to connect directly to a port
The "Knowbot Information Service" (KIS) is a "white pages" service that
allows you to query one service and have it search several other address
databases of various sorts for addresses matching your query.
DESCRIPTION
netaddress is an information service that provides a uniform
user interface to heterogeneous remote information services.
By submitting a single query to netaddress a user can search
a set of remote information services and see the results of
the search in a uniform format.
EXAMPLES
In the following examples, `%' is the UNIX prompt and `>' is
the netaddress prompt.
% netaddress droms
Searches the default list of directory servers for
user ``droms''.
% netaddress
> service profile@nri.reston.va.us
> droms
Searches the profile service at NRI.RESTON.VA.US for
user ``droms''.
% netaddress
> service profile@nri.reston.va.us
> query droms
Is identical to the previous example.
% netaddress -s profile@nri.reston.va.us droms
Is identical to the previous example.
% netaddress 'service profile@nri.reston.va.us' droms
Is identical to the previous two examples.
% netaddress 'alison brown'
Searches the default list for a user with first name
``alison'' and last name ``brown''.
