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

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.

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,

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.

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:

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

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.

(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

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

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

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.

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):

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Rice University (Houston, TX): Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
Finger username@rice.edu, where name is firstname or lastname. 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

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
