Saint Anselm College:
    Students, Faculty, Staff: anselm![e-mail]
    Usernames are of the form flllllll, where f is the first letter of the
      first name and lllllll are the first seven letters of the last name.
      If a last name has less than 7 letters, the entire last name is
      used.
    Saint Anselm College is a UUCP client of dartvax, the Dartmouth
      College system.  All news and email is fed via a data transmission
      made twice daily (1am and 1pm).

San Diego State University:
    Faculty and Staff:  [e-mail] where f is the first
      initial followed by the last name.

Santa Clara University:
    Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may
      be reached as [e-mail], where FLLLLLLLL is the first
      initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n
      characters of the last name).
    The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1.
    You might want to contact the postmaster there for further
      information.  The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center
      is 408/554-4082

Scripps College (Claremont, CA):                      Changed: Sat Jul  3 1993
    Finger [e-mail].
    Mail to: [e-mail]    (Novell network)
    Finger at: charon.claremont.edu         (Charon mail server)
    Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and crashes
      regularly).

Seattle Pacific University:                           Created: Fri Oct  8 1993

Seattle University:
    Everybody (students and faculty) are on the same machine,
      @seattleu.edu

Simon Fraser University:                              Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
    All students, staff and faculty have accounts on the campus computing
      network (CCN).  The domain name is @sfu.ca.  User information is
      available through an X.500 directory service, which can be accessed
      via the finger program: finger [e-mail], where f is the
      first name and l is the last name.
    Computing Science and allied units also maintain a separate subdomain
      cs.sfu.ca (Centre for Systems Science).  Users generally have the
      same accounts on this domain as they do on the CCN.

Skidmore College (Saratoga Springs, NY):
    zipcode: 12866. phone: [phone].
    All e-mail is collected by scott.skidmore.edu.
    Usernames normally take the form  first initial and first seven
      characters of the last name.  You can also employ "fname.lname",
      giving the complete first and last names separated by a dot.
    Contact [e-mail] for any delivery problems or other
      questions about the College.

Smith College (Northampton, MA):                      Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
    Usernames are flllllll (or fmllllll to prevent duplicate names).
    Most accounts are on VMS at smith.smith.edu.  Some, mostly computer
      science, are on UNIX at sophia.smith.edu, where fingering works (but
      talk has been disabled).

Sonoma State University: [e-mail]:

Southwest Texas State University:
    cs and math faculty or grad students: @swtexas.bitnet.  (most user IDs
      are cs_lastname or ma_lastname)

St. John's University (Collegeville, MN):             Changed: Tue Jan  4 1994

    Gopher service at <URL:gopher://stjohns.edu>.

St. John's University (Santa Fe, NM):                 Created: Thu Apr  6 1995
    Domain stjohns-nm.edu. There is no reliable system for finding
      addresses because students are free to choose their own codeword as
      a name.  Often it consists of their first initial and last name, but
      not always.

St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN):
    UNIX accounts are created for all students upon their admission to the
      College.  Not all faculty and staff have accounts yet, but we're
      working on that.
    General address form:   [e-mail].  Last name conflicts are
      usually resolved by adding first and/or middle initials to the end
      of the last name.
    Try fingering [e-mail] (note the capital letter).
    Try using the St. Olaf Gopher service at
      <URL:gopher://gopher.stolaf.edu>.  Phonebook information can be
      found under "St. Olaf Information".
    Try sending email to [e-mail] describing the person
      you're trying to contact.

Stanford:                                             Changed: Wed Nov  9 1994
    Stanford has implemented a finger service for its whois database.  Try
      "finger [e-mail]" first -- most students and lots of staff
      and faculty now have their e-mail addresses registered with this
      service.  Name can be lastname, or for better results flastname or
      fmllllll.
    Alternatively, this service can be accessed via whois:
        whois -h stanford.edu name
    If that doesn't work, most students (and lots of staff and faculty)
      have accounts on leland.stanford.edu.  The finger daemon on leland
      only matches exact usernames.  Its various clients are slow but
      match more: elaine0 through elaine53(.stanford.edu)
    A couple of other machines to try:
      CS (Grad and undergrad): xenon.stanford.edu
      Geology/Earth sciences: pangea.stanford.edu
      EE: sierra.stanford.edu
      Psychology: psych.stanford.edu

Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA):   Created: Mon Jul  5 1993
    Send mail to [e-mail], where username is of
      the form "first initial lastname" truncated to 8 characters, with a
      uniqueness number.  For example, John Smith would have the username
      JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would
      have JSMITH1.
    We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it
      easier to find people.  This record will be updated when that
      occurs.

SUNY/Albany:                                          Created: Mon Aug 23 1993
    Students: [e-mail] (VAX cluster) or @albnyvm1 (IBM
      system) where nnnn is last 4 digits of social security number.

SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY):
    (SUNY College of Technology at Alfred)
    Students and faculty: [e-mail] (lastname,
      firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes isn't used).

SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY):                    Changed: Wed Nov  9 1994
    In order to contact someone at SUNY-Binghamton you'll have to give
      them a call; there is no way of figuring out a student's address
      given their name, as the mapping is random (sequential in the order
      people apply for accounts).
    Undergrads: [e-mail] where X is a letter
      depending on what year they got their account: 91/92: A 92/93: B(?);
      NNNNN are random digits, almost always starting with 0; HOSTNAME is
      either bingvaxa (VMS), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw
      (IBM).  Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and
      bgNNNN@bingvmb.
    Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those
      in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns.
    N.B.: since about November 1993 the following doesn't seem to work.
      An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is supposed to be
      available;
        telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu
        DIAL VTAM
        ELIXIR
        Choose from menu.

SUNY/Buffalo:                                         Changed: Tue Feb 21 1995
    Finger [e-mail], where name is userid or lastname or
      firstname;  you'll get a list of possible matches if there is more
      than one.
    Grads, Undergrads: [e-mail].  Userids of the form
      VNNNXXXX where NNN are the first 3 digits of one's social security
      number, and XXXX are 4 alphanumerics representing the rest of the
      social security number.
    General Computing Center (students): [e-mail]
    ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there.  Recently,
      however, more people are getting accounts on acsu, the Unix system.
    Engineering Students: [e-mail]
    EE Students: [e-mail]
    CS Dept: [e-mail] ([e-mail])
    The usernames for the acsu, cs (and possibly eng) seems to be formed
      by something appoximating the following rules:
      1. If lastname is <=8 character,
        1.1) if it does not already exist as a username, then
          username=lastname. (eg. smith)
        1.2) else username is first initial + lastname (eg. jsmith)
      2) If lastname is too long, and a middle initial exists, then
        username is initials (eg. jcs)
      3) If lastname is too long but no middle initial exists, then
        username is the first 5 chars of the last name, a -, and then the
        initial. (eg. James Smithenson would be smith-j).
    The cs and acsu domains share mail alias files, so mail to a username
      at either cs.buffalo.edu or acsu.buffalo.edu will arrive at the user
      in the same mailbox.
    There are also geog (Geography), arch (Architecture) and med
      (Medicine) domains.

SUNY/Canton:
    students: [e-mail], also try @snycanva.bitnet

SUNY/Geneseo:
    students: [e-mail] .. yy is graduation year
    I dont know about faculty, it might be on @snygenva.bitnet.

SUNY/New Paltz:                                       Created: Mon Feb 20 1995
    Domain is newpaltz.edu, but they don't allow finger access from off
      campus.

SUNY/Potsdam:
    students: [e-mail] .. where ss are last 2 digits of
      SS#
    faculty: [e-mail]

SUNY/Stony Brook:
    Undergraduates:
      [e-mail] (sbccvm.bitnet)
      [e-mail] (sbccmail.bitnet) (servers ccsinc.bitnet
        and ccnova.bitnet)
      [e-mail] (servers are libserv1, csserv1, csserv2,
        eeserv1; can't finger).
    CS Folks: cs.sunysb.edu (cs is an alias to the host sbcs)
    You can also use the campus "white pages", whois -h sunysb.edu ...  or
      try fingering at [e-mail]

Swarthmore:                                           Changed: Tue Aug  3 1993
    Most Students/Faculty/Staff: [e-mail], where F is
      the user's first initial, and LLLLLL is the first six letters of
      their last name.  A '1' (one) is appended in most cases, though for
      duplicates the number is incremented. To find people, send mail to
      postmaster. You can also finger people by their last name.
    As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at
      [e-mail]
    Computing Centre staff: usually [e-mail]
    CS: Usually, [e-mail]
    Engineering: usually [e-mail]

Syracuse University:
    CompSci Grads/Faculty: top.cis.syr.edu Many CompSci graduates and
      faculty have accounts on this machine; the usual username pattern is
      "[e-mail]"
    Some faculty and staff: SUADMIN.bitnet (suadmin.syr.edu)
    Other students and faculty:
      mailbox.syr.edu
      sunrise.syr.edu (VAX 8820/VMS)
      suvm.acs.syr.edu    (IBM 3090/CMS)
    suvm.acs.syr.edu and sunrise.syr.edu are run by the SU Computing
      Services. Undergrads usually have accounts on sunrise (which is a
      VAX VMS cluster). Both hosts are on bitnet as suvm and sunrise.
    The pattern for all these hosts is: first-initial + middle-initial +
      as much of the last name as possible.
    White-Pages: "finger [e-mail]" will search the online catalog
      white pages for a registered user that has his/her information
      public.  Mutliple matches produces multiple output.  "finger
      @syr.edu" for more details.  The same information is available via a
      BITNET directory server ([e-mail]), through PSI's X.500
      project, and through whois -h syr.edu
    Phone Book: The Syracuse Phone book has the same e-mail addresses as
      are available in the White pages, but as it's only printed once a
      year they are usually out of date.  Dialing [phone] is campus
      information;  if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people
      there will be happy to give it out.
    [e-mail]  -- If the username exists, and that person
      doesn't mind having it handed out, this userid will check into it
      beforehand and reply via mail.

Tampere University of Technology (Tampere, Finland):  Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Host: tut.fi.  Finger available.

Texas A&M University:
    All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous set
      of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than 30% of the
      student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The format of
      the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and #### is the
      last four digits of the SSN.  If a student has no middle initial
      then '0' (Zero) is used.  These domain is "tamu.edu" and the machine
      could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa, sigma,
      etc.
    General Unix: tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu, tamsun.tamu.edu
    General VAX/VMS: zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu, summa.tamu.edu,
      sigma.tamu.edu, rigel.tamu.edu
    General VM/CMS: tamvm1.tamu.edu
    Finding addresses: Try fingering [e-mail] or
      [e-mail].  (tamu.edu uses ph, the CSO Nameserver)
    The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu".  The
      statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu".  The username format on these
      machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll.  Some old accounts may
      have first names or last names only.
    The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu.
    There are about a million other departmental machines with varying
      names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu".

Trinity College (Hartford CT):

    Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.usafa.af.mil>.
    Cadets: you must know the cadet's last name, first and middle
      initials, class year, and cadet squadron.  For example, John Ivan
      Smith, class year 96, squadron CS-17, gives
      [e-mail]
    Instructors and faculty: class year is not applicable, and squadron is
      replaced with the department they work in.  All academic departments
      are preceded by DF and then the department's abbreviation is placed.
      The cadetmail2 is also dropped.  For example, an instructor, Smith,
      J I who works in the English department, would be denoted
      as:         [e-mail]

      vax1.cc.uakron.edu (vax, so finger works)
      vm1.cc.uakron.edu (vms, so finger doesn't work)
      vm1 is also known as akronvm.bitnet
    Most students and faculty have accounts on either of these machines.
      Usernames are usually r1 for faculty, r2 for graduate students, and
      r3 for undergrads, followed by first, middle, and last initials. (If
      the student doesn't have a middle initial it is omitted.) Naming
      conflicts are resolved by adding a digit to the end of the userid
      (e.g., 1, 2, ... 9).  For example: mine is
      [e-mail]...
    Engineering Machines: Grad, undergrad:
      file01.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
      file02.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
    Userid's normally begin with the first two letters of the person's
      major (el = electrical, me = mechanical) followed by 4 digits to
      make 6 digit userid. Undergrads are given id's of form bsxxxx.
    Math Department machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad:
      vonneuman.cs.uakron.edu (unix and fingering works).  Only math
      students or students enrolled in courses offered by math dept have
      accounts. finger works with first,lastnames or userid's.
    userid's for grads and faculty are by their last names.  undergrads
      and class accounts begin with sun followed by three digits making 6
      letter userid.
    Mechanical Engineering Machines: Grad,faculty.  Any grad engineering
      student can have an account.  Finger doesn't work for these
      machines.  starshine.mech.uakron.edu sunshine.mech.uakron.edu
      moonshine.mech.uakron.edu
    Userid's are first names.

        H is for temporary guest accounts
        R is for research
      FML is the initials of first, middle, and last names, respectively.
      N is a number, and is only given (and then it starts from one) if
        there are more than one person at the same school with the same
        status and initials
      O is the computer that the person is on.  1 is Southeast and
        affiliated schools.  2 is Anchorage and its affiliates (Kodiak,
        Kenai, Mat-Su, and Prince William Sound).  3 is Fairbanks and
        affiliates However, a person with enough access can use other
        campus' computers.
    acad2 and acad3 (.alaska.edu) can be fingered (usernames only - VMS
      finger).  Fingering these computers will not tell you the person's
      name.
    There are also other computers in the alaska.edu domain.  SX accounts
      (computer system administrators and testing accounts) usually are on
      orca.alaska.edu and also on at least one of the acadO's. orca cannot
      be fingered.
    A student, faculty, or staff member can request an account on
      camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu, also. This computer can also be
      fingered.
    Other computers in alaska.edu may not use this username assignment,
      but orca.alaska.edu and camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu do.

University of Arizona:
    Historically computer access at the UA had been limited to students,
      faculty and staff who had either a job, or a class which required a
      computer. Recently the Unix Users Group at the University of Arizona
      began providing General Access Systems for no charge to UA students.
    The machines are configured from donated, loaned and retired equipment
      and managed by volunteer effort. As a volunteer effort, there is not
      time to respond to postmaster requests for usernames so please do
      not send address requests to the postmaster. Use the finger utility
      instead; it will respond to "real name" requests (in the following
      "gas" means "gas.uug.arizona.edu"):
        finger -l kennedy@gas gotobed@gas |grep "Login name:"
        Login name: bjk                         In real life: Brian J. Kennedy
        Login name: kennedys                    In real life: Steven A Kennedy
        Login name: jgotobed                    In real life: Joe Gotobed
    While we are attempting to support a rational username policy, it is
      not foolproof as this example shows. If the finger info returns
      nothing, the person has no account on these systems.
    Due to limited disk capacity, ( < 1Mb per account) the usage is
      limited primarily to internet news, telnet, ftp and email.  There
      are currently about 500 students and a capacity of about 3,000
      accounts.
    While accounts are currently limited to students, we expect to provide
      access to the general staff & faculty sometime in the spring of
      1993.
    There are nearly a hundred subdomains at the University, each with
      their own access policies, username assignments and email schemes.
      If the finger utility does not reveal the address of a friend, a
      phone call to them asking for their address is probably the most
      efficient way to discover it.
    Many faculty and staff are on ccit.arizona.edu.  If someone tells you
      they are on "cosy" or "icosy," forget it; you can't send mail to
      them (although they can send mail to you).
    Undergrads in Computer Science are on caslon.cs.arizona.edu.
    Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; try
      evax2.engr.arizona.edu.
    Grad students and Faculty are usually given accounts on their
      department/college systems.  Try math.arizona.edu;
      physics.arizona.edu; mis.arizona.edu; cs.arizona.edu, etc.
    In the School of Business, you can try FirstinitialLastname (e.g.
      RReagan) @bpa.arizona.edu with very good success.  If
      FirstinitialLastname is ambiguous, a username might be
      LastnameFirstinitial instead. (Main site was mis.arizona.edu until
      late 1992).  On BITNET send mail to [e-mail]
    Arizona.EDU is the campus mail gateway, but only those who ask get
      aliases on Arizona.EDU.  You could try [e-mail] if you
      suspect the person you want uses EMAIL a lot.

      uclink3 addresses.
    CS and EECS undergraduates: cory.EECS.berkeley.edu.  soda.CSUA,
      ucsee.eecs, and hkn.eecs are run by students (CS Undergrad
      Association, UC Society of EEs, and Eta Kappa Nu, respectively).
    First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.EECS.berkeley.edu or

      robotics, postgres, and ginger. tenet.icsi.berkeley.edu also has
      some CS grad students on it.  Many machines in the department are
      now foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are.
    EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation
    Many csgrads will have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which supports
      finger.  Systems to try for grad students are (all
      .cs.berkeley.edu): sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics,
      postgres, and ginger.
    Names for the above accounts are usually, but not always, combinations
      of the user's real first, middle and last names and/or initials.
      However, finger will search the "real name" field as well as the
      account name.
    There are many class accounts (which all students get). These are
      found on web.berkeley.edu, bard.berkeley.edu, and
      xcssun.berkeley.edu.  Danube, congo, po, and volga and a cluster of
      stars (named after stars) (all in the .EECS.berkeley.edu domain),
      and web and buddy are used for the first 3 semesters of CS classes.
      haas is for business majors.
    Class account usernames are typically cnnn-mxx or ennn-mxx, where 'c'
      or 'e' denotes CS or EE, nnn is the course number, m is the section
      number (not always used), and xx are two letters.
    Statistics class accounts are of the form s#xxxx, where # is the class
      number and xxxx is some string of alphabetic characters. These
      accounts live on gandalf.berkeley.edu. Statistics cluster computers
      are named after Tolkien characters.
    qal.berkeley.edu is used for courses in "practical computer use"
      (taught by Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies), and accounts
      are available to any Social Sciences major by permission of their
      advisor.  Account names are 193xxx, where xxx is the last name of
      the user.

    College of Natural Resources: nature.berkeley.edu
    garnet.berkeley.edu and violet.berkeley.edu are the most likely place
      for a pay-for-use account. Some departments maintain accounts on
      these machines for faculty and staff, though, so these machines are
      the place to try for faculty affiliated with departments that have
      no real computing facilities. Almost anyone on campus can pay for an
      account on these machines.
    Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
    [e-mail] should be considered as a last choice when
      looking from someone electronically.

      sometimes FFFFFFFL.
    CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu.  Faculty userids are usually
      their last names, sometimes initials, a few firstname only.  Grads

    There are two types of accunts on orion.oac.uci.edu: (1) Staff in the
      Office of Academic Computing (2) Students
    Staff userids on orion are usually FLLLLLLL, 8 char max.  The student
      accounts on orion are different, though.  Any student can get an
      orion account, but not a lot do.  The userids for these accounts are
      seven characters as follows: first "ea", then two characters
      representing major and grad vs. undergrad status, respectively,
      (e.g., i = information & computer science, u = undergrad), then
      three random digits.  Non-staff orion users tend to use their
      accounts infrequently because of usage limits.

University of California/Los Angeles (UCLA):
    CS: @cs.ucla.edu @oahu.cs.ucla.edu
    MATH: @math.ucla.edu, @sonia.math.ucla.edu, @oak.math.ucla.edu
      (graduate students, staff, faculty)
    EE grads & faculty: ee.ucla.edu (network of RTs and SUNs running unix.
      Each machine has the name of a famous engineer:  watt.ee.ucla.edu,
      joule.ee.ucla.edu, etc) Usernames vary; try fname, lastname,...
    AGSM: @agsm.ucla.edu  @uclagsm.  (Anderson Graduate School of
      Management) All of students , staffs and faculty have their user ID.
      User ID: FLLLLLLL (max 8 characters)
    Class Accounts: pic.ucla.edu (PIC = program in computing) These get
      cleared every quarter. Account names are usually the course number
      followed by three letters chosen by the student.  If you finger
      @laguna.pic.ucla.edu, you get more detailed info, such as when the
      user last logged on, etc.
    Engineering: seas.ucla.edu  This is a server for a network for the
      school of engineering and applied sciences. Any engineering graduate
      student can get an account on it, and many undergrads have accounts
      on it for classes. This machine has access to Usenet.
    Anybody: oac.ucla.edu  An IBM 3090.  Anyone in UCLA can get an open
      access account on this to send mail, etc.  Account names on this
      machine are terribly cryptic (such as IZZYR33).

University of California/San Diego (UCSD):
    The primary mail gateway is ucsd.edu. This machine also has a smart
      finger program, which will look up names that sound similar to the
      one you fingered. Just "finger [e-mail]".
    Most usernames are the initial of the first name followed by the last
      name, truncated to 8 characters, ie. "[e-mail]", but this is
      not always the case (because most people don't like their names
      truncated).
    Machine sdcc13 houses the student personal accounts at present, but
      mail to ucsd.edu will reach (almost) everyone on sdcc13.ucsd.edu.
    If the person is a graduate student, faculty member, or staff member
      try: weber (social sciences), cogsci (guess), bend (linguistics),
      crl (some developmental psychology people).  There are many other
      subdomains for other subjects (math, cs, ee, etc.).
    Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
      accounts.  Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.

University of California/Santa Cruz:
    Undergrads: ucscb.ucsc.edu
    Other hosts include ucsc{c-e,o}.ucsc.edu, ucscvm.ucsc.edu, etc.  All
      these hosts (except for ucscb) are on bitnet as the first part of
      their domain name.
    A new host, cats.ucsc.edu, has been added as the mail address for
      UCSC's version of Athena. Users can be fingered by username, first
      name, or last name. Undergrads, grads, faculty, and some staff may
      have accounts on cats.  Users choose their own IDs, so you must use
      finger to get an account name.
    As of late fall 1992, the name space of cats and ucscb have been
      merged, so that almost all students have the same userid on both
      systems.  However, there are (and will likely always be) separate
      accounts on the 2 systmes that use the same name - so there will
      remain differences between mailing to SomeAddress@cats and
      SomeAddress@ucscb.

    Many researchers have accounts on rainbow.uchicago.edu, in addition to
      having accounts on their own workstations.
    The University of Chicago now (fall91) runs the ph mail system, so
      sending mail to [e-mail] will work if they've
      entered a real mailbox into their ph entry.  In case of name
      conflict, add additional initials beyond the first. Questions should
      be directed to [e-mail].  Unfortunately few
      people bother to input their e-mail addresses.

      are bach, brahms, and chopin{.udel.edu}.
    The login name is a random 5-digit number until the user changes it,
      then it is whatever the user picks. Fingering last names will work
      to find the login name, but since there are thousands of accounts,
      it may produce an overload of information.
    Faculty are best reached at [e-mail], though
      some have accounts on the "composers" machines.

      David_L_MATTHEWS)
    All students (grad and undergrad) may request an account on
      wam.umd.edu (Workstations At Maryland).  All undergrads (and
      probably graduate students too) may request accounts on eng.umd.edu;
      most engineering graduate students have accounts there, but so do
      non-engineering studentss. Finger using the lastname at these hosts.
    CS Faculty/Staff/Graduate Students: cs.umd.edu; sometimes
      umiacs.umd.edu or cfar.umd.edu
    telnet umail.umd.edu and login as lookup for faculty/staff E-mail
      directory.  Campus has universal faculty/staff E-mail on
      info.umd.edu (aka umail.umd.edu).  Whois and finger do not work off
      campus for this computer, though.  If you know the name, try
      [e-mail].

University of Massachusetts/Amherst:                  Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
    Students/Faculty: first.{mi.}[e-mail] (This is on the
      CDC Cyber NOS/VE system.) Another common format is
      first.{mi.}[e-mail]. Saturn is the name of the
      computer. Many people, especially faculty, have a departmental
      abbreviation in place of "student" or "saturn.ucc".  Another
      possible form is [e-mail]
    Graduate CS students: cs.umass.edu Username is person's lastname.
    Intro CS courses: S#######@tethys.ucc.umass.edu, where ####### is a
      7-digit student number.
    Engineering: {fi}[e-mail]. Names defaults to last name,
      but may include the first initial if the last name is not unique.
    Student directory service: (413)-545-1515 for finding a phone number.

University of Massachusetts/Lowell:
    All CS students and University UNIX users are generally addressable as
      [e-mail]. Adjustments are made for conflicts such as
      adding the middle initial after the first, or adding additional
      letters from the first name.
    Not all students automatically get accounts on the VMS system, but if
      they do they can be addressed as [e-mail].  Finger
      works on this machine, but isn't very informative. If there is a
      name conflict, they will add letters from the first name or numeric
      digits (1, 2, etc.) until it is unique.

University of Miami:                                  Created: Mon Sep  6 1993
    Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences:
        whois -h UMIGW.MIAMI.EDU name
        finger [e-mail]

University of Michigan:                               Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
    World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.umich.edu>.
    The best place to try to find an e-mail address for a faculty,
      students, and staff at U-M is via the X.500 White Pages service.
      There are many ways in which this can be accessed, but one easy way
      is through finger (finger [e-mail]).  (The X.500
      Directory also contains business addresses, business phone numbers,
      titles, and home addresses and phone numbers in the case where the
      person has granted such permission.)  If the person has registered
      an e-mail address, it will appear; if the person has not, follow the
      advice of the X.500 server and try fingering the person at
      um.cc.umich.edu (the mainframe), caen.engin.umich.edu (the College
      of Engineering mail hub), or med.umich.edu (the Medical Campus mail
      hub).
    People with accounts on um.cc.umich.edu also have a Bitnet address:
      [e-mail] where 'xxxx' is the person's account on the
      mainframe.
    A database of U of Michigan student and faculty phone numbers and
      addresses (not email addresses, just phones) is available through
      the Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu>, also
      available via telnet to gopher.micro.umn.edu (login: gopher) in the
      "Other gophers" menu or the "phone books" menu. This gopher phone
      number database has been changed to access X.500.
    Grad students in EECS get accounts on eecs.umich.edu. (The specific
      machine names are dip and zip, but eecs forwards appropriately.)
    Usernames are either lastname, or of the form Fname_Lname.
    313- ann arbor info 764-1817 998-7999
    If all else fails, you can always mail the request to the U-M
      postmaster at [e-mail].
    Alternately, to get finger information for NAME:
        telnet to 35.1.48.149 35.1.48.150 or hermes.merit.edu
        press return until you get a "Which Host?" prompt
        type FINGER UM <return> NAME <return>

University of Minnesota:                              Changed: Fri Nov 25 1994
    In general, try fingering [e-mail].  Fingering any
      reasonable fragment of the name should work.
    CS Grad students: @cs.umn.edu.  General policy is "last name as
      account name, plus first and middle initials if that's not unique",
      but there *are* exceptions.
    Undergrads in technical majors will have temporary accounts on
      maroon.tc.umn.edu or vx.cis.umn.edu.  The account names are
      serialized so aren't useful in finding out names.  Recently (as of
      late 1992) most class accounts are on mermaid.micro.umn.edu, and are
      named.  All Twin Cities campus students have e-mail on
      gold.tc.umn.edu, whether they know it or not.
    Chemistry (faculty, staff, grads): [e-mail].  The
      login is usually the person's last name.
    Statistics: umnstat.stat.umn.edu.  Userid varies; use finger.
    Biochemistry & genetics: often molbio.cbs.umn.edu or lenti.med.umn.edu
    UMN Morris: Logins are in the form [e-mail].  Finger
      first or last name.
