Version: 4.4 Last-Modified: Sat 08 Apr 1995 09:49:24 EDT by dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca Archive-name: mail/college-email/part2 Emory University (Atlanta, GA): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Use 'finger name@emory.edu' (name = first, last or login). Fitchburg State College (Fitchburg, MA): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 Usernames are FLLLLLLLLLLL or FMLLLLLLLLLL @ fscvax.fsc.mass.edu (maximum 12 characters). You can finger by username or by last name. Florida Atlantic University: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 The local ACM chapter runs cybernet.cse.fau.edu, on which everyone can get accounts, and many FAU students (and some faculty) use it. Florida State University: Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995 There is no unified phone book for FSU students, though some popular servers to try fingering include: garnet.acns.fsu.edu (mainly faculty and class-related accounts), gold.acns.fsu.edu (purchased accounts for students), cs.fsu.edu (computer science). For faculty and staff, the whois server on mailer.cc.fsu.edu is a good place to look. Use the form: whois -h mailer.cc.fsu.edu [name] where [name] is some component of the person's name (first, last, or first and last). An alternative route to the faculty database is through Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.fsu.edu> (choose Phonebooks (People and Organizations)). Franklin and Marshall College: Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 userid@acad.fandm.edu. Student userids are FMLastname; Faculty are usually FLastname; Computer Centre staff use firstname or lastname. Other staff usually use DEP_FML@admin.fandm.edu, where DEP is department, e.g. OPR for Operations. 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. Georgetown University (Washington, DC): Created: Fri Mar 31 1995 World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.georgetown.edu>. Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.georgetown.edu>. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994 All Users: prism.gatech.edu (aka acme.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. All faculty and staff are also reachable as firstname.lastname@group.gatech.edu where group is usually the name of the college, school, center, etc. Current groups include: aerospace, alumni, arch, atdc, audit, berc, biology, bks, business, carnegie, cc (college of computing), cds, ce, che, chemistry, coe, conted, coop, cos, crt, eas, econ, ee, erc, facilities, grad, gstrf, gtaa, gtrc, gtri, health, history, housing, iac, inta, intprog, ipst, irp, isye, lcc, library, marc, math, oit (office of information technology), vpea, vpss, ymca. CS Dept (Faculty, staff, PhD students): terminus.cc.gatech.edu, firstname.lastname@cc.gatech.edu. (cc = College of Computing) Usernames: students: gtXXXXy (example: gt6953b), where XXXX = last 4 digits of Campus PO Box, y = A-E to make it unique (PO Boxes are shared). Also gtdNNNy, where NNN is a unique number. faculty/staff: firstname.lastname@department.gatech.edu Also try: username@acme.gatech.edu, Glassboro State College: Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995 World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.rowan.edu>. Renamed to Rowan State College in 1993. Goucher College (Baltimore, MD): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 Not an internet node, but you can send mail to firstname.lastname%goucher@wb3ffv.ampr.org. Grand Valley State University (Allendale, MI): Created: Tue Jun 29 1993 Faculty, Staff: userid@gvsu.edu Students in general do not have email access. Usernames are of the form lllllllf (e.g., jqstudent), truncated to 8 letters. Gvsu.edu does not have a finger daemon running. Computer Science students *may* be reachable at userid@beech.mcs.gvsu.edu, where userid is of the form llllllll, with lllllllf for name collisions. Grinnell College, Iowa: Addresses are username@nodename. 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. Grinnell College now has an Internet connection - ac.grin.edu. Gustavus Adolphus College (St. Peter, MN): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Finger at llllllll@gacvx1.gac.edu for vax accounts, or fmllllll@nic.gac.edu for Unix accounts. Hampden-Sydney College (Hampden-Sydney, VA): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 Faculty have addresses of the form FirstnameL@tiger.hsc.edu (e.g. Fred Smith -> freds@tiger.hsc.edu). Hamilton College (Clinton, NY): Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 Students, Faculty & Staff: flllllll@itsmail1.hamilton.edu Hampshire College (Amherst, MA): username@hamp.hampshire.edu, where username is of the form fllllll Harvard: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Employees: flllllll@harvard.edu and firstname_lastname@harvard.edu Finger @husc.harvard.edu to find mail destinations. husc{8,9,10,11}.harvard.edu are Unix machines, which is what most people use for e-mail. husc{3,4,6,7,12}.harvard.edu are VMS machines, used a bit for mail, but more for application server for the MAC/PC networks, etc. Undergrads: @husc.harvard.edu, @husc9.uucp Username is lastname or flllllll or fmllllll, with a number appended in case of duplicates. Center for Astrophysics: @cfa.harvard.edu 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 now 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. Harvey Mudd (Claremont CA): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994 MailCnetral mail names are of the form llllll_ffffff@hmc.edu. These forward to the user's preferred mailbox. A whois/finger server on hmc.edu searches for MailCentral mail names, given any part of the user's name. Finger help@hmc.edu for enough help to get you started. All students, faculty and staff are listed in the database. Campus computer resources: osiris.ac.hmc.edu: General use Unix hmcvax.ac.hmc.edu: General use VMS muddcs.cs.hmc.edu: CS Dept. Server In general, each department has a cluster for upper-division research, faculty use, etc. Haverford College: Changed: Thu Nov 10 1994 PH server: ph.haverford.edu. FLLLLLLL@haverford.edu. In case of conflicts, either a middle initial or number is added (FNLLLLLL or FMLLLLLL). Do NOT use venus.haverford.edu; as of 1994 it no longer accepts mail. Helsinki School of Economics & Business Administration (Helsinki, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Host: kyyppari.hkkk.fi. Finger available. Helsinki University of Technology (Helsinki, Finland):Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Students: vipunen.hut.fi Staff: hila.hut.fi Finger with first or last name. Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.tky.hut.fi>. Hiram College (Hiram, OH): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 All are userid@hirama.hiram.edu where userid is of the form lll..llfm, up to a 12 character maximum. Hope College (Holland, Michigan): Created: Fri Oct 8 1993 Students (VAX): LFxxxxyy@hope.cit.hope.edu, where L = Last initial, F = First initial, xxxx = Last four digits of Social Security number, yy = Last two digits of expected graduation year Faculty (VAX): Lastname@hope.cit.hope.edu Computer Science (UNIX): Lastname@cs.hope.edu Idaho State University: Created: Tue Apr 6 1993 Faculty, Staff: userid@isu.edu Students: userid@cwis.isu.edu userid is of the form llllffff (in the case of conflicts the last letter may be changed to a number) All faculty and staff may receive accounts upon request. Students may receive accounts upon payment of a small computer use fee. Accounts are also available through several departments, but there is no standard way to determine names. Finger daemon is running on cwis and the mail-hub, but many of the mail-hub addresses are just aliases which will not be returned by the finger daemon. Illinois Institute of Technology: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Domain IIT.EDU has servers on iitmax.iit.edu and karl.iit.edu. Student usernames are llllfff. One correspondent said: "try lastname@IITVAX1.BITNET@UICVM.UIC.EDU" Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy: Created: Mon Jul 5 1993 Students: Finger @imsasun.imsa.edu. About 75% of the community have accounts. Users pick their own IDs. Alumni may keep their accounts. Faculty, staff, administration: Firstname.Lastname@qm.imsa.edu. This is an unfingerable QuickMail setup. Illinois State University (Bloomington, Illinois): FMLastname@ilstu.edu. Most students do not have internet access. Finger works. Indiana University: Faculty, Staff, Students: username@ucs.indiana.edu Usernames are portions of the person's real name. 8 characters, usually the last name plus maybe a few initials. Student/Staff VAX/VMS machines: (main nodes) gold.ucs.indiana.edu, aqua.ucs.indiana.edu, jade.ucs.indiana.edu, amber.ucs.indiana.edu, rose.ucs.indiana.edu silver.ucs.indiana.edu -- Unix, All students ( mostly CS undergrads) copper.ucs.indiana.edu -- These two are VAXen running Ultrix (UNIX) They're student machines. bronze.ucs.indiana.edu -- This is DEC RISC (Not a VAX) running Ultrix. Staff only... iuvax.cs.indiana.edu -- Unix, CS students ( mostly grad students and faculty ) The email address of any student, faculty, or staff member at Indiana can be found out by doing a "finger lastname@indiana.edu" or "whois -h indiana.edu lastname" or "whois -h iugate.ucs.indiana.edu lastname" Type "finger help@indiana.edu" or "whois -h indiana.edu help" for more information about the service. Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM): Students: mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx (vax machine); academ01.mty.itesm.mx (RS/6000) Userids begin with BL plus the id number of the student, i.e., bl205102. Every student can ask for an account on the vax machine. There are other computing facilities as well. Iowa State University: Changed: Fri Oct 8 1993 Finger name@iastate.edu, where name can be username, firstname, or lastname. Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY): Created: Sun Mar 20 1994 fllllll#@ithaca.edu. # disambiguates; "1" for the first user with the same first initial and 6 letters of lastname, 2 for the second, etc. Students who work as consultants in the computer labs have Lastname@Ithaca.Edu (or lastnamef in case of conflicts). As of Feb 1994, students CANNOT be "finger"ed. Also, students must request usernames, and not everyone does. Johns Hopkins: Accounts are located on jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu, jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu, jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu. All are on bitnet. The default userid is of the form lllll_fm or llllll_f. However, students may choose whatever userid they wish, which can be just about anything. Juniata College (Huntingdon, PA): Created: Sun Mar 20 1994 JUNCOL.JUNIATA.EDU Kalamazoo College: fllllll@kzoo.edu Kansas State University: 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,firstname@ksuvm.ksu.edu 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 userid-xxx@ksuvm.ksu.edu (where "xxx" is the userid you want to find). Unix: matt.ksu.ksu.edu: All students, faculty, and staff. depot.cis.ksu.edu: CS faculty, staff, and grads. cygnus.cis.ksu.edu: CS undergrads. eece.ksu.edu: EE grads and faculty. math.ksu.edu: Math staff, faculty, grads, and some undergrads. Kenyon College: username@kenyon.edu Username is usually the last name, sometimes with initials tacked onto the end. Lappeenranta University of Technology: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 (Lappeenranta, Finland) Host: lut.fi. Finger available. LaSalle University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania): Host hp800.lasalle.edu Faculty, Staff, and student staff: use last name, eg. jones (llllllll) Course accounts: xnnn0mmm or xnnnamm, where x is 1-letter course name (e.g. c for computer science), nnn is 3 digit course id, 0 or a is 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: username@lehigh.edu (ns1.cc.lehigh.edu) Help with specific userids can be obtained from lucc@ns1.cc.lehigh.edu. 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.) Lenoir-Rhyne College (Hickory, NC 28603): E-mail address is username@alice.lrc.edu or Username@mike.lrc.edu. Longwood College (Farmville, VA): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 Math & Computer Science faculty have addresses of the form FLastname@lwcnet.lwc.edu (e.g. Fred Smith -> fsmith@lwcnet.lwc.edu). I believe that other faculty have address of the same form on the same domain. There are other domains. No domains support remote finger. Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge): CS: csvax.csc.lsu.edu EE: max.ee.lsu.edu SNCC (S/m Network Comp Center): lsu500.sncc.lsu.edu 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 userid@macalstr.edu, 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): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994 Finger name@mit.edu 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 help@mit.edu for instructions in using this service.) For backwards compatibility, mail to name@athena.mit.edu will still work. 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: Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994 Computer Science: login_name@cs.mcgill.ca (mail forwards to the correct machine. Currently profs have their accounts on opus.cs.mcgill.ca, stuents on binkley.cs.mcgill.ca. Electrical Engineering: username@ee.mcgill.ca Medizinisches Hochschulrechenzent, Hannover (Hannover, Germany): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994 (Hannover Academy/School of Medicine) Bitnet address: lastname@DHVMHH1.BITNET Internet address: lastname@vm.mhrz.mh-hannover.de 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 postmaster@merrimack.edu welcome): Faculty: except in extraordinary circumstances lastname@merrimack.edu Undergrads: Aliases exist for most students as First.MI.Last@merrimack.edu. REAL ids are usually lastnamefirstinitial@merrimack.edu with dups getting lastfirstinitmiddleinit@merrimack.edu. For example: Jane A. Smith -> jane.a.smith and smithj@merrimack.edu Joe L. Smith -> joe.l.smith and smithjl@merrimack.edu Miami University (Oxford, Ohio): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 userid@MIAVX1.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU or @MIAMIU.MUOHIO.EDU. Until 1994, userids were FMLastname. Now they are LLLLLLFM. Michigan State University: @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: user@egr.msu.edu (user@msuegr.bitnet) 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 user@cps.msu.edu 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, user@ibm.cl.msu.edu user@msu.bitnet; and also the Convex, user@convex.cl.msu.edu. I don't know what the rules are for determining user IDs for Computer Center machines. MSU Information is (517) 355-1855. Michigan Technological University: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Use Gopher service at <URL:gopher://mtu.edu> to find addresses, which are often fmlastname@mtu.edu. Also possible: fmllllll@mtus5.cts.mtu.edu; finger does not work on this machine. Michigan Technological University: mtus5.cts.mtu.edu or mtus5.bitnet most students have accounts with the format FMLASTNA First initial-Middle initial-LASTNAMe (8 letters total) finger does not work on these machines. Millsaps College: All faculty, staff, and students are userid@okra01.millsaps.edu. 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. Mills College (Oakland, CA): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994 Most student have accounts at: userid@ella.mills.edu Minnesota State University System: Faculty (all campuses): userid@msus1.bitnet Faculty/Students (Mankato State University): userid@vax1.mankato.msus.edu Mississippi College (Clinton, MS): Created: Mon Feb 20 1995 Mailboxes are of the form lastname@csc.mc.edu or flastname@csc.mc.edu. Mississippi State University: Mail in the form fml#@ra.msstate.edu or fml#@isis.msstate.edu.. The Number will normally range 1 and 4, it stands for the student number (First one with given set of initials to apply for internet access) Mount Allison University (Sackville, NB, Canada): Changed: Fri Oct 8 1993 Mail username@mta.ca, where username is usually flastname, or fmlastname in the case of conflicts. Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.mta.ca>. Mount Allison provides access to a Campus E-Mail address list and phone book via their info system. Telnet to Macc2.mta.ca and login as info. Select the campus phone book option from the menu that appears. The info system can perform searches from that point on. Mount Holyoke College: "mhc." may be omitted: flllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu fmllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu llllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu Mount Royal: mtroyal.ab.ca Student's userids are of the form llllll#### where # are the first four digits of the student id. Staff userids are of the form flastname. Muskingum College (New Concord, Ohio): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Mail to userid@muskingum.edu. As of fall 1992 userids are usually flastname; previously ff_lastname, possibly with a trailing 1. The finger server just shows who is logged in; POSTMASTER@muskingum.edu is willing to handle inquiries. National University of Singapore (Singapore): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994 CS Department Faculty or Staff: faslastnamefm@leonis.nus.sg, where fas is fas (faculty and staff), lastname is full lastname, f is first name, m is middle name. Art Department has numbered accounts, e.g. artxxxx@leonis.nus.sg. New Jersey Institute of Technology: Newark NJ 07021 CS PhD Studs: user@newark.njit.edu Grad Studs: user@hertz.njit.edu (ultrix), user@tesla.njit.edu (vms) New Mexico Institute Of Mining And Technology: Try finger name@nmt.edu or finger name@jupiter.nmt.edu. 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 University: Virtually all email addresses are of the form fllllll@nmsu.edu. 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: Wed Feb 22 1995 World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.ncsu.edu>. Finger username@eos.ncsu.edu, or use the whois server on infopoint.cc.ncsu.edu. Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.ncsu.edu>. CS faculty/staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming convention for faculty accounts. There are currently 4 active AFS cells within the NCSU realm. unity.ncsu.edu: The NCSU Computing Center. Eventually all non- engineering students will be here. eos.ncsu.edu: NCSU Project Eos (all engineering accounts - faculty, staff, and students). Student userids are usually fmllllll. tx.ncsu.edu: NCSU College of Textiles catt.ncsu.edu: NCSU CATT program, students and computers in a dorm CS Graduate Students: used to have accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu, but are now moving over to AFS. login names were gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the person first or last name will also work. 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 First.Last@medicine.und.nodak.edu for staff and faculty; no student accounts as of Fall 1992. For help finding someone, try 'finger' or contact postmaster@medicine.und.nodak.edu Northeastern: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 Finger name@lynx.dac.northeastern.edu 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 PERSON@info.nau.edu 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 FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@nau.edu 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 postmaster@nau.edu Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. postmaster@cse.nau.edu 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'. Northwest Missouri State University: Created: Tue Nov 8 1994 username@northwest.missouri.edu. Unfortunately usernames are random numbers, starting with 01 for professors and 02 for students. 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 <alias@nwu.edu> 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 University: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Russia, Novosibirsk 630092, K. Marx Prospekt 20 Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@nstu.nsk.su 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 postmaster@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu 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: Changed: Tue Nov 8 1994 Faculty, Staff, Graduate students: flllllll@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu whois -h osu.edu should find all students, faculty, and staff, as should telnetting to osu.edu. 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). Ohio Wesleyan University (Delaware OH): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 Finger Username@cc.owu.edu. All usernames (student/faculty/staff) are of the form FMLLLLLL; if no middle initial, first initial is repeated. Ohio University (Athens OH): CS (UNIX): fllll@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu EE (grad students): fllll@bobcat.ent.ohiou.edu, @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET Oklahoma State/Stillwater: Changed: Thu Nov 10 1994 userid@rsc.ceat.okstate.edu or flastname@osuunx.ucc.okstate.edu. 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 University: 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. Computer Science: cs.psu.edu (UNIX), crayola.cs.psu.edu (Ultrix) Math: math.psu.edu Pitzer College: Created: Sat Jul 3 1993 finger flllllll@pitvax.claremont.edu Plymouth State College (Plymouth NH): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Faculty & staff: firstname.lastname@plymouth.edu or flllllll@psc.plymouth.edu or fffffffffl@psc.plymouth.edu Students: finger firstname@oz.plymouth.edu or finger lastname@oz.plymouth.edu Polytechnic University (New York): This is a listing for Brooklyn and Farmingdale Campuses Code System Name Comments ---- ----------- ---------------- F borg X galileo F W george Farmingdale F W gracie Farmingdale F icon F W ishara Brooklyn F pixel F Poly-TS Polytech Information Server F prism F pucatt F puscs X rabbit X stealth F spark F sprite F tasha Farmingdale F thermal1 X vacuum X vm F W worf Brooklyn X wri Legend: F = Fingerable. X = Nonfingerable. W = At login: prompt typing in 'who' will list parties logged on 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: fllllll@pomona.claremont.edu (bitnet flllll@pomona.bitnet) 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, user@ecn.purdue.edu. 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: Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995 World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://info.queensu.ca>. Faculty and staff: firstname.initial.lastname@queensu.ca. 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 x@qucis.queensu.ca, where x is lastname or firstname. Quincy University (Quincy, IL): Created: Wed Nov 9 1994 quincy.edu Reed College: username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. (RPI): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994 Telnet to infotrax.rpi.edu. Go to CAM, then DIR, then STU, then find name <username> Rensselaer Computing System: rpi.edu. Open to all students, faculty and staff. Userids are lllllf@rpi.edu with digits added to break ties. finger lastname@rpi.edu to verify userid only. but finger @rpi.edu doesn't yield any login information.

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 name@owlnet.rice.edu (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 JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. 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. Department Machine Names ========================================== ========================== Computer Science: cs Electrical and Computer Engineering: mu, zeta, eta, kappa, tavi Geophysics: geophysics, hercule, typhoon Math: math1, math22 Mathematical Sciences: masc1, masc6, masc22 Mechanical Engineering: caesar Information Systems: is RAVL (Rice Advanced Visualization Lab): ravl RUF (Rice Unix Facility): ruf Space Physics and Astronomy spacsun (ID usually initials) spacvax (ID usually lastname) Statistics: stat1, stat5 Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT): ritvax.bitnet aaaXXXX@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, where aaa is users initials, XXXX is last 4 digits of Social Security Number (SSN) Computer Science: aaaXXXX@cs.rit.edu. 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. All students have accounts. NeXT workstation network: nextwork.rose-hulman.edu. All students have accounts. CS department network: cs.rose-hulman.edu. Any student can get an account upon request. Student usernames are consistent across the systems, in the form llllllfm. Mail addresses of the form: first.m.last@rose-hulman.edu are also accepted; mail is directed to a preferred address. Rowan College of New Jersey: Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995 World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.rowan.edu>. (formerly Glassboro State College, renamed in 1993) Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail to postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate.

Rutgers: Changed: Tue Nov 8 1994 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. General Student: eden.rutgers.edu (New Bruns. undergrad (*)), andromeda.rutgers.edu (Newark undergrad--all students), draco.rutgers.edu (Newark grad--all students), clam.rutgers.edu (Camden undergrad) (*) not all New Bruns undergrads have accounts CS: remus.rutgers.edu (undergrad), paul.rutgers.edu (grad), cs.rutgers.edu (faculty), pyrite.rutgers.edu (grad/fac) Engineering: pisces.rutgers.edu (ug), jove.rutgers.edu (g/fac), caip.rutgers.edu (grad/fac) Math: gauss.rutgers.edu (undergrad), math.rutgers.edu (grad/fac), hilbert.rutgers.edu (fac), dimacs.rutgers.edu (fac) Molecular Biology/Biochemistry: ocelot.rutgers.edu Physics: physics.rutgers.edu Statistics: stat.rutgers.edu (fac) Faculty/Staff not covered by the above machines: cancer.rutgers.edu Systems Staff: klinzhai.rutgers.edu, cs.rutgers.edu, hardees.rutgers.edu, gandalf.rutgers.edu Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu There is a machine, pilot.njin.net, which is available to any Faculty/Staff member at any New Jersey college by request. As such, using finger lastname@pilot.njin.net may be useful in finding someone at any of the non-Rutgers colleges in NJ. -- http://www.qucis.queensu.ca:1999/~dalamb/info.html
