Version: 3.32

This is a summary of how to find email addresses for undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty and staff at various colleges and universities. If
your university is not listed, send me a detailed description of how to find
email addresses there, in a format similar to what I have here, and I'll add
it to this list. Please mail ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, and OTHER
INFORMATION to me at
    [e-mail].
I will *not* answer requests for help finding a specific address; if the
school is not listed in this posting, I do not have any information about the
site.

An updated version of this list is posted every once in a while to the
newsgroups soc.college, soc.net-people and news.answers.  The version date for
this list is located at the top of the file. The list is also available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.qucis.queensu.ca in directory pub/dalamb/college-email
as the files faq1.text, faq2.text, and faq3.text.  You can also get the file
by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in the file
/pub/usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses, or by sending a mail message
to "[e-mail]" with the subject
    send dalamb/college-email
or by sending a message to "[e-mail]" whose body contains
    send usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses

After a discussion of general facilities for locating email addresses,
we present detailed information on locating the email addresses of
students, faculty and staff at various universities.  As of Feb 1993 I've
started to tag entries with the date I last changed them, so you have some
clue as to how stale the information might be.

Disclaimer: Most universities have restrictions on the uses of
directory information. So don't use this info for commercial purposes
or whatnot without securing permission from the individual colleges
and universities.

*************************************************************************
*            SPECIAL NOTE:                    *
*         Avoid public distribution of individuals' addresses        *
*************************************************************************

It is considered rude to widely distribute (e.g., in a Usenet posting)
anyone's E-mail address without prior consent, even if the address is publicly
available using one of the techniques described below or some other technique.

It might seem that having one's E-mail address listed in a publicly accessible
database is equivalent to distributing it, but this is not the case in
practice, for three primary reasons:

* Some people may not be aware that their addresses are available for others
  to locate.  For example, the majority of Usenet posters are unaware of the
  database of Usenet E-mail mentioned in the "finding addresses" FAQ.

* When some effort is required to locate a person's address (e.g., using the
  techniques described below), only people who have a specific reason to send
  mail will go to the trouble.  However, if the address is mentioned in a
  Usenet posting read by thousands of people, no effort is required to obtain
  it, and many more people will send mail.  Most people with E-mail addresses
  are not accustomed to receiving E-mail from strangers or large amounts of
  E-mail, and they may not be happy if they do.

* As unwanted E-mail becomes more common, people will start to remove their
  addresses from public databases, which means that it will become more
  difficult to find people's addresses for legitimate reasons.

In summary, if you want to advertise someone's E-mail address, get his or her
permission before you do it.  Besides, if you're going to advertise an
address, it's a good idea to make sure it works first, and writing to it for
permission is a good way to do that.

;;; ********************************
;;; General Facilities *************
;;; ********************************

There are several general facilities for locating an email address.
We concentrate on those usable from the internet.

o  finger                    Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993

   Finger is a user information lookup program that lists the login name,
   full name, office location and phone number (if known), login time,
   idle time, time mail was last read, and the contents of the .plan and
   .project files from the home directory of current UNIX users. The
   information listed varies from site to site, and not all sites allow
   remote fingering. [Plan files are "sys$login:plan" on VMS systems.]

   To use finger, simply call finger as follows
    finger <username>@<machinename>
   replacing <machinename> with the name of the appropriate machine, and
   <username> with the name of the person or the person's login ID.
   For example,

    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]

    [ Forwarding mkant as "[e-mail]" ]

    [A.GP.CS.CMU.EDU]
    Login name: mkant                       In real life: Mark Kantrowitz
    Directory: /usr2/mkant                  Shell: /usr/cs/bin/csh
    Last login Tue Apr  2 15:21 on ttyQ7 from LION.OZ.CS.CMU.EDU
    No new mail, last read on Thu Apr 11 16:27

   Notice how fingering my userid at the generic address forwarded the
   request to the correct machine. Many universities are set up to do
   forwarding in this manner, so that mail may be sent to the generic
   address and is automatically forwarded to the maildrop on the machine
   where the user receives his or her mail.

   Fingering using last names or full names may work, depending on the
   site:
    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]
    [ Forwarding Mark.Kantrowitz as "[e-mail]" ]

    % finger [e-mail]
    [CS.CMU.EDU]
    [ Forwarding kantrowitz as "[e-mail]" ]
   Some sites with use an underscore (_) instead of a period (.) in the
   full name (e.g., Mark_Kantrowitz), or require an extra period to
   specify middle initials (Mark.X.Kantrowitz).

   If fingering using the last name doesn't work, you can try sampling
   various possibilities for userids. The following are some
   possibilities. After the description of each possibility, I give
   an example in square brackets with either the previous maintainer's name
   (Mark Kantrowitz, no middle initial - his was longer than mine!) or "John C
   Smith", and a generic acronym for the method, with f's for characters from
   the firstname, m for the middle initial, and l's for characters from the
   lastname; these acronyms will be used in the detailed listings section of
   this file.
    -  Many UNIX sites limit userids to 8 characters, so try the
           first 8 characters of the last name. [smith or kantrowi] llllllll
    -  If there are two people with the same last name, the first
           initial (and possibly the middle initial as well) are appended
       at the front of the name. [jsmith or jcsmith] flllllll fmllllll
    -  Try appending the initials at the end of the name. [smithj
        or smithjc] lllllllf llllllfm
    -  Try the initials of the users name. [jcs] fml
   Unfortunately, you cannot finger to bitnet addresses (unless they are also
   on the internet).

o  whois/nicname                Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993

   Whois is the internet user name directory service. Do
    whois help
   or
    nicname -h
   to get a help message. The whois and nicname programs will check
   the database maintained at rs.internic.net (or nic.ddn.mil for U.S.
   military sites) for the given names. For example,
    nicname <name>
   or
    whois <name>
   or
    whois -h <host> <names>
   where <host> is some site with a whois server.  This is only useful for
   people listed in the database. Many regional networks and some universities
   maintain their own NICs.

   You can also get some of this information by telneting to rs.internic.net
   and running whois and host there.

o  Merit Network NetMail database

   Allows one to find the appropriate bitnet, internet or uucp address
   for a site given part of the address.
    telnet hermes.merit.edu
    At the "Which Host?" prompt, type netmailsites
    then enter any part of the address you want.

o  nslook/nslookup and hostq programs

   Some sites have programs which will give you information about a host
   given its name or IP address. Some such programs include nslook,
   nslookup, and hostq.

o  Netfind

   Use a netfind client or server program to search for
    name domain
   where name is the last name of the individual and domain is the
   domain name. You can use Netfind by telnet/rlogin to
   bruno.cs.colorado.edu (use userid "netfind" with no password).

o  gopher                    Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993

   Gopher is an Internet-wide distributed document retrieval service.  If your
   site has a gopher client program, you can use it to access gopher servers
   at other sites; domain X.edu might have a gopher server gopher.X.edu, but
   there's no guarantee.  One kind of document sites often place under gopher
   is their phonebook.  Most Gopher servers have pointers to a complete list
   of ph servers used by all sorts of organizations.  You can enter various
   criteria, in an easy-to-use manner, and it will return the info that you
   didn't give (if, of course, there are no more than 20 entries that match.
   This is to prevent people getting mailing lists via the ph servers.)

o  help/gripe/olc

   If your site has consultants or facilities staff responsible for helping
   users/fixing bugs/maintaining software, try sending them mail. Often
   they will be able to help you. If you don't know how to contact these
   people, ask someone in your department, or try sending mail to the
   userid 'help'.

o  postmaster                    Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993

   Most sites have an individual responsible for network and mail operations
   at the site, usually with the userid of 'postmaster'.  These people are
   usually very busy, so before bothering one of them, try telephoning the
   person you are trying to reach.  Long distance is expensive for you, but
   less expensive, globally, than the postmaster's time.  The one reasonable
   exception is if you're sending mail and getting messages in response that
   suggest some sort of mail system problem; you might report the problem
   to postmaster at your own site, who may in turn contact postmaster at the
   destination site.

   Many postmasters will refuse to answer questions about user identification,
   for reasons of privacy, though they may be willing to forward *your*
   address so your intended recipient can write to you.

o  /etc/hosts                    Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993

   Mail routing on UNIX machines on the internet use to use a large file
   called /etc/hosts to validate host names.  We used to advise you to examine
   this file to guess host names when all else fails - but that really isn't
   useful anymore.  Use one of the above methods instead.

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, [e-mail]. 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 "[e-mail]" (without the quotes, of course).
   Internet mail incoming to America Online is trucated at 27 kilobytes.

o  Internet to Prodigy                Created: Mon Sep  6 1993

   Around July 1993 there were rumours that Prodigy was beta-testing an
   Internet gateway. We don't know if there would be any cost to Prodigy
   users, but they need new software, called Mail Manager, and can sign up for
   Internet access at JUMP INTERNET. Prodigy users would receive Internet mail
   via the address format
    [e-mail]
    where "abcd12a" is the recipient's Prodigy user ID.


;;; ********************************
;;; Miscellaneous Notes ************
;;; ********************************

Addresses on the United Kingdon academic network (JANET) have their components
reversed. For example, @uk.ac.dund.mcs works on JANET, but in the rest of the
world use @mcs.dund.ac.uk instead.

;;; ********************************
;;; Email Database *****************
;;; ********************************

Abo Akademi University (Turku, Finland):    Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Host: finabo.abo.fi.  Finger available.

Alfred University                Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    (New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred)
    Internet: bigvax.alfred.edu
    Bitnet:   ALFREDU or CERAMICS
    Almost all students and faculty have email adresses in the form
    lastnamefm, but exceptions abound.  Connecting via telnet to
    bigvax.alfred.edu and logging on as GENERAL will connect to the
    GENERAL account, which supports username searches. Outside finger is
    not supported.

Amherst College:
    Students, Faculty, Staff: [e-mail]
    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 [e-mail]) 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):

    [e-mail]

    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:            Changed: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Finger [e-mail];  all persons (students or staff)
    registered in ASU can be "finger"ed.  Email addresses are unreliable
    though since not everyone has started using accounts yet. But most
    grads and computer/usenet literate undergrads do.

    The engineering grads/ugrads are on enuxsa.eas.asu.edu.  Most other
    machine info should be available from netfind's seed database search.

Arizona State University:
    Academic Machines: Grad, Undergrad
    The phone book for ASU's Faculty/Students is available online
    by telnetting (using the IBM's fullscreen interface using
    tn3270) to asuvm.inre.asu.edu and logging on as HELLOASU. The
    phone book has both email addresses for academic machines as
    well as the phone nos. (602 is the area code for all of Arizona)

    Engineering machines: Grad, Undergrad
    enuxha.eas.asu.edu   -- Unix -- can finger first/last names or userids
    enuxva.eas.asu.edu   -- Unix -- same as above
    envmsa.eas.asu.edu   -- VMS  -- Only userid fingering works.

    Usually csc and eee undergrads who use comps get accts on
    enuxha and almost all grads have accts on enuxha which is the
    most popular machine due to USENET.

Auburn University: (Auburn, AL)
    Engineering: eng.auburn.edu
    Other departments: ducvax.auburn.edu
    Try fingering at waterman.eng.auburn.edu, lab1.eng.auburn.edu,
    newton.eng.auburn.edu or netman.eng.auburn.edu.

Augustana College (Sioux Falls, SD)            Created: Fri Oct  8 1993
    [e-mail]
    Student usernames are fmlastname
    Faculty usernames are lastname

Australian Defence Force Academy (Canberra, Australia) Created: Thu Jul  1 1993
    Faculty and staff: [e-mail]

Australian National University (ANU):        Created: Mon Mar 22 1993
    Canberra, Australia (Domain: anu.edu.au)
    netfind:  rlogin anu.anu.edu.au -l netfind
    Academic Machines:
      Grad, Staff userids fml### where ### is a group identifier.
        huxley.anu.edu.au  -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
        coombs.anu.edu.au  -- Unix -- GNU finger, allows first/last names
      Undergrad: userds lllfxxxx, where xxxx is course name/unit number.
        e.g. stuaca11 is A.Student doing Computer Science unit A11.
        fac3.anu.edu.au    -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
        fac4.anu.edu.au    -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
    Computer Science:
      boris.anu.edu.au   -- Unix -- finger on usernames only

Ball State University:
    University Computing Services: [e-mail]
    Some faculty and grad students have accounts on this machine.
    CS: [e-mail]

Barnard:                    Changed: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Barnard College, affiliated with Columbia.
    Students and staff get free accounts on a PC-based system running
      cc:mail (no finger, gopher, etc.)  There is no known way of looking
      up addresses.  They can also request accounts on Columbia's systems.
    Students: LLLLLFFM@@barnard.columbia.edu (or
        @smtplink.barnard.columbia.edu)
    As of October 1993, Columbia will list Barnard directory information,
    so mail to [e-mail] will probably reach Barnard
    recipients.

Bates College (Lewiston, Maine):
     Students and Faculty: [e-mail]
    Userids are of the form flllllll.  Numbers are added to the end
    of the userid in case of name conflicts, e.g. asmith, asmith2, asmith3
    If the name is unique you can use [e-mail]

Baylor College of Medicine:

    The central mail server is bcm.tmc.edu and finger [e-mail] will
    get you any faculty or staff user that makes use of the central mail
    facility. finger [e-mail] will get you any student that
    makes use of the student email facility.

    whois -h whois.bcm.tmc.edu gets you the on-line phone/address book.
    This is directly tied to the BCM personnel database, so the information
    is as accurate as possible.

    Questions about these facilities should be directed to
    [e-mail]

Baylor University (Waco, TX):            Changed: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Computer Science and Engineering students: [e-mail]
    Computer Science: gandalf.baylor.edu
    Work-study students and journalism staff: baylor.edu

Bethune-Cookman College (Daytona Beach, FL):    Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Faculty, staff, students: [e-mail]
    To learn a particular email name at the college, it is best to send to:
    [e-mail]

Birmingham-Southern College (Birmingham, AL):
    bsc835![e-mail] where userid are of the form
    flllllll. Postmaster is bsc835![e-mail].

Boston Univ.:
    Main campus system: acs.bu.edu.  Everyone can get accounts on this
    machine, but not everyone does. Call the person and ask (they may
    never log on even if they have an account). Student Directory
    617-353-3700, Faculty 617-353-2000.  Usernames are any "socially
    acceptable" 8-character name.
        Unix accounts: Mail or finger [e-mail] or [e-mail].
        Mailing [e-mail] is currently broken but should be fixed soon.

        CS: cs.bu.edu
    Undergrad CS: csa.bu.edu.
    Engineering: buenga.bu.edu (faculty/admin)

    In the fall (of 1992) BU will set up a nameserver on bu.edu.

Bowdoin:                    Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
    Studnets: fl*@polar.bowdoin.edu, where f is the first initial, l* is
      the lastname up to 7 characters.
    Administrative staff: @henry.bowdoin.edu.  Mailboxes are fl* as above,
      or last_first
    Faculty: either of the above depending on personal preference.

Bradley University:
    Faculty: bradley.bradley.edu
    Students: buhub.bradley.edu, camelot.bradley.edu.  Usernames are
      chosen by the user and may be from three to eight characters long.
    Heartland Freenet: heartland.bradley.edu  Free use to the public, used
      mostly by the Peoria public. Use login 'bbguest'. login names are
      usually flllllll or fmllllll.
    Chemistry: chem1.bradley.edu
    CS: bucs1.bradley.edu, cssun1, cssun2
    Physics: truth.bradley.edu
    Physics: beauty.bradley.edu

Brandeis:
    Undergraduates: pip.cc.brandeis.edu
        Usernames on pip are of the form STXXYYYY where XX is
        the year the student entered Brandeis and YYYY is the
        student's campus mailbox number. Not all students use
        their accounts, so check with the student before emailing.
        US mail can be sent to
            <Student Name>
            MB <YYYY>, Brandeis University
            PO Box 9110
            Waltham, MA 02254-9110

    For phone information: On-campus students can be reached by dialing an
    automated "spell-the-name" server at [phone] , 24 hours a day,
    or during business hours through the Brandeis operator at +1 617 736
    2000.  Off-campus students' numbers can be obtained through the campus
    information booth at [phone] during business hours.

    Some undergrads have accounts on a more advanced unix machine,
    chaos.cs.brandeis.edu.  Userids are chosen by the student; finger
    {lastname}@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu or mail to
    [e-mail] for info.

    Graduate Students: binah.cc.brandeis.edu (brandeis.bitnet).
    Not all use them; write to [e-mail]
    for information. Userid is chosen by the student.  A few
    undergrads have binah accounts.

    DIRECTIONS to Brandeis can be had 24 hours at [phone].

Bridgewater State College (Bridgewater, MA)    Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Host: bsc.mass.edu

Brown:
        You can send mail to [e-mail] if the user
      uses email and it will forward the mail to him or her. To find
    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:
    [e-mail] ([e-mail])
    The former is fingerable, unlike the .bitnet address. This
    machine is mostly used by undergrads.

Bucknell University:
    general: [e-mail]
    cs: [e-mail]
    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


California Inst. of Tech:            Changed: Thu Jul  1 1993
    CCO MACHINES (undergrad/grad/general) CCO means campus computing org.
      Unix: mail to [e-mail]
      VMS: Juliet.caltech.edu.  Also romeo,hamlet,iago,portia.
        These are all the same vax cluster.
    Try "whois -h finger.caltech.edu name" to find user names, or telnet
      to info.caltech.edu
    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).  through.ugcs.caltech.edu (aka through.caltech.edu) is the
      server.  Also, with the same endings: within, above, from, toward,

    Use 'finger [e-mail]' (eg firstname or lastname) to find
      addresses, since userids include parts of student numbers, so are
      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:    [e-mail] where "xxxx" is the standard
                        faculty abbrevation, often lastname

Cambridge University (Cambridge, England):    Created: Sat Mar 27 1993
    Telnet to info.cam.ac.uk and log in as "info"; you then get an online
      information system about Cambridge, which according to rumour can
      help you find people (though I got lost in a maze of twisty
      hypertext when I tried it).

Carnegie Mellon University:            Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993
    Finger @cmu.edu to find people.
    All undergraduate students and some faculty, staff, and graduate
      students: Mail sent to [e-mail] works, even if
      the name is slightly misspelled. Andrew usernames are two initials
      followed by two random characters.  Usernames are arbitrary; to send
      to the username, add a + at the end of the name: [e-mail].
      If you try an ambiguous name, you'll get mail back with a list of
      matches.

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland:    Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Use 'whois -h whois.cwru.edu' to find usernames.  It supports
      substring and soundex searches.  If there is a * beside an address,
      it has not been activated.
    po.cwru.edu is the post office. Every student, professor, and staff
      member has access to email through this machine, as do alumni who
      activated their accounts while students. (Not everybody activates
      their account, however.) User ids are of the form fml##, where ## is
      a number, probably less than 30. The number 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 Unix lab.
      The user ids on that machine are the full last name, for the most
      part. (Mainly Computer Engineering and EE's on this machine.)
    You can also search the Cleveland Freenet user list for CWRU people
      by any part of the name; telnet to freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, choose
      "Visitor", "Explore the system" and at the prompt, "go directory"
    CS/computer engineering majors may have accounts on the CS cluster;
      finger any part of the name @alpha.ces.cwru.edu.  Userids are
      usually full last name.
    EE majors and those in related courses may have accounts on the EE
      HP/UX cluster; finger @snowhite.eeap.cwru.edu.  Userids are usually
      the first six letters of the last name.

                on this machine.
     clvm.clarkson.edu          Administrative computer. Fairly isolated.
                Profs. and Admin. have accounts on this
                computer for things like class lists.
                (I'm not sure how much use this is because
                it seems that all you can do is find out
                if someone is logged in or not.)

    (basically only mail), people may prefer other addresses over this one
    (especially grad students in the sciences).  Some staff also seem to
    have accounts.

      subject to the information being reported by the manager of each
      system.  Note, students have the right to withhold directory
      information and in that case you will not find them.  Barnard
      College names should be available by October 1993.  Teachers College
      and Union Theological do not (yet) provide student information for
      this directory, though Teachers' College should do so soon.
    Finger @columbia.edu for last login on any of the new cluster of
      hosts.  Some problems with this finger are being ironed out.
    Law students have accounts on lawmail.law.columbia.edu, which has had
      delivery problems during 1993.
    Columbia students [only] can get free accounts. Anybody affiliated

    does so.

    As off fall 1993, everyone gets "network ids", which consist of first,
    middle and last initials, plus a number.  Mail should be sent to
    [e-mail].  If the person's name is unique, mail can also
    be sent to [e-mail].

    Email addresses can be searched by using finger on qi.cornell.edu.
    Use variations such as  finger [e-mail]    or
                finger "firstname lastname"@qi.cornell.edu.
    Names are available via gopher (server gopher-hole.cit.cornell.edu).
    Some people choose to add information such as street addresses, phone

Dartmouth:
    Send mail to [e-mail] (or fname.mi.lname if
    it is a very common name). If the name is ambiguous, you might
    want to finger [e-mail] 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
    [e-mail]. 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.

Dickinson College (Carlisle, PA):        Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
    Addresses at Dickinson College are of the following format:
      [e-mail]     for example, [e-mail]
      [e-mail]     [e-mail]
    Usernames are typically the lastname (truncated at 8 characters)

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

      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.

Florida State University            Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
    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 addresses, if you have a gopher client program, do
        gopher gopher.fsu.edu
      and select the 'Phonebooks (People and Organizations)' menu entry,
      then the 'Quick search of FSU directory (PH)' within that menu.
    Other alternatives include:
      1: email [e-mail] with the words
        whois "name"
         in the subject line, with no message body
      2: whois -h mailer.fsu.edu "name"

                                  or  [e-mail]

    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,

Kansas State Univ.:                Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
    VM/XA: ksuvm.ksu.edu.  All students, faculty, and staff.  This is by
      far the most popular machine.
    KSUVM has a homebrewed finger server that allows you to search
      for KSU students, faculty, and staff.  Usage is
        "finger    lastname,[e-mail]"
      This does a fuzzy lookup so you don't have to get the spelling exact
      and returns the KSUVM userid (if any) plus name, address, phone
      number, major (if student), and classification.  If you know the
      KSUVM userid you can look that up with
        "finger [e-mail]"
      (where "xxx" is the userid you want to find).

      entered exactly as shown, and mmm or mm is the student's individual
      number within the course)
    Incoming finger (from the Internet) does not yet work.

Lehigh University:
    Undergrads: [e-mail] (ns1.cc.lehigh.edu)
    Help with specific userids can be obtained from
    [e-mail].

    Lehigh has installed "white pages" server on lehigh.edu.
    Fingering for a person's first or last name (case insensitive)
    at lehigh.edu will return all relavant user info (email
    address, full name etc.)

Macalester College (Saint Paul):

    Every student and faculty member has an account on the college's VAX
    system.  Many students have additional accounts on departmental
    machines.  These instructions are for finding someone on the VAX.
    Finger [e-mail], where userid is of the form
    flllllll for students, and lname for faculty. Numbers are added
    to the end of the userid in case of name conflicts.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT):
    Finger [e-mail] for info about the person and mail
    address. This is the same info that's used to create the
    MIT phonebook, so it is as accurate. (One can finger
    [e-mail] for instructions in using this service.)

    All students and faculty may get an account from Project
    Athena. Their mail address will be @athena.mit.edu, even
    though athena is a distributed workstation environment.

    Finger @ai.mit.edu for AI graduate students, faculty, and
    some undergrads. Also try @media-lab.mit.edu
    (= media-lab.media.mit.edu) for the MIT Media Lab.
    Try @lcs.mit.edu for Laboratory of Computer Science faculty, staff,
    and students.

    Also, MIT math professors can be found on math.mit.edu (a.k.a.
    bourbaki.mit.edu; however, this information is already accessible
    from fingering mit.edu information.

    MITVMA.MIT.EDU is the gateway to bitnet.

McGill University:

     Computer Science profs, grads, and ugrads have mail forwarded from
     [e-mail] to the correct machine.  Currently all
     profs have their accounts on opus.cs.mcgill.ca, and grads and
     undergraduates have accounts on binkley.cs.mcgill.ca.


Memphis State University:
    Undergrads: memstvx1.memst.edu (memstvx1.bitnet)
       memstvx1 is a VAX connected to both internet and bitnet,
           and also serves as the domain name server for memst.edu
           While it does support Finger, it only reports users
           currently logged on.
       All instructional account usernames are dependent on the
           course title  (e.g. MATH1234567 would be an account
           for a Math class)
       Grads and Staff accounts are usually First_InitialLastname
           e.g. JSMITH for John Smith (but there are exceptions)

    Some departments have their own machines, but the majority of
    accounts are on the VAX.

Merrimack College: (inquiries to [e-mail] welcome)
    Faculty: except in extraordinary circumstances [e-mail]
    Undergrads: Aliases exist for most students as

    Joe L. Smith    -> joe.l.smith and [e-mail]

Millsaps College:
        All faculty, staff, and students are [e-mail].
        Userid is produced from first five letters of last name, first two
        initials - merged without spaces.  In case of no middle initial,
        nothing is used.  In case of name conflicts, numbers are added to
        the end to produce unique userid's.

Michigan State Univ.:
    @frith.egr.msu.edu @eecae.ee.msu.edu, @kira.ee.msu.edu
    @cpsin.cps.msu.edu @cpsvax.cps.msu.edu
    All college of Engineering students and faculty (includes CPS
    students) that have requested an account will have the address:
        [e-mail] ([e-mail])
    where "user" is usually the last name, but is often some other
    combination of first name, initials, etc to provide uniqueness
    throughout the college.

    In Addition, CPS students and faculty can receive mail at
        [e-mail]
    with the rules for "user" being the same as above.  As far as I know,
    the same user-id is used on both "egr.msu.edu" and "cps.msu.edu".

    General EMAIL accounts are available on Computer Center machines,
    usually the IBM3090.
       [e-mail] [e-mail]
    and also the Convex
       [e-mail]
