The computer name is brahms.udel.edu also there are chopin.udel.edu, bach.udel.edu and ravel.udel.edu, but these are redundant because they share accounts and files with brahms. 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. The College of Marine Studies maintains a computer system. Students and faculty have accounts with login names of their choosing on several computers, such as earthview.cms.udel.edu mingming.cms.udel.edu chester.cms.udel.edu There are several other sparcstations around but they share accounts with the ones named above. Univ. of Florida (Gainesville, FL): Finger lastname@wasp.eng.ufl.edu. Contains complete listings for people in the College of Engineering, and some listings for people in other departments. Univ. of Houston (Houston, Texas) Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 Host: cs.uh.edu.: All graduate students, staff, and faculty in the CS dept. have accounts on cs.uh.edu. Undergrads have accounts on either menudo.uh.edu (Unix) or jetson.uh.edu (VAX). Try "finger lastname@cs.uh.edu" for information on graduate students, staff, or faculty. Use "finger lastname@menudo.uh.edu" or "finger lastname@jetson.uh.edu" for undergrads. Anonymous ftp host: beethoven.cs.uh.edu (129.7.5.180) Undergraduate and graduate information can be found under pub/gradinfo. To request for information and/or application forms, send name and address to gradinfo@cs.uh.edu Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 In general, finger name@uiuc.edu, where name can be firstname, lastname, or firstname-lastname. Also try whois -h uiuc.edu <names> CS: try mail to lastname@cs.uiuc.edu or flastname@cs.uiuc.edu Campus: try f-lastname@uiuc.edu and firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. It is usually possible to send mail to f-lastname@uiuc.edu or firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. If that fails, you will get a message which tells you why the email could not be sent. Student Accounts: As of Fall 1992: ux4.cso.uicc.edu (those entering before then have accounts on uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) Every freshman gets an account on this machine. Usernames are usually flastname (old accounts were the user's three initials, followed by five random characters.) Math (Grads, Faculty, Staff): lastname@math.uiuc.edu Classes: ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, hendrix.ece.uiuc.edu (Purely instructional. 1 semester accounts on this machine.) Faculty: some are on on ux1.cso.uiuc.edu Engineering: coewl.cen.uiuc.edu; finger isn't supported. Electrical engineering faculty: ece.uiuc.edu From BITNET, it is possible to get information about any student by executing the command TELL PHSERVE AT UIUCVMD firstname lastname RETURN ALL. Univ. of Illinois/Chicago: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 uic.edu (Most userids of the form Uxxxxx) For Staff and Faculty info, use 'finger lastname@uic.edu' or Gopher to uic.edu, and select "The Campus" menu entry, then "Phonebook". Use the e-mail alias for best response. Student Info: Not yet easily available. However, if you know the person's userid, you can 'finger U12345@uic.edu' which will give you stats on the account, if active. Engineering: Use 'finger name@bert.eecs.uic.edu' The PostMaster will NOT help you in finding people, as the only resources available are described above. Univ. of Iowa (Iowa City, IA): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Finger name@uiowa.edu, or telnet to chop.isca.uiowa.edu and enter "go phone" to use the Uiowa phone book. Engineers - on the Apollo ring: fmlastname@icaen.uiowa.edu Others - @weeg.uiowa.edu Univ. of Kansas: Student Accounts: kuhub.cc.ukans.edu Most user ID's are their last names (first 6 letters). Univ. of Kentucky: The WHOIS server at UK maintains user databases for the following Kentucky universities: University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY University of Louisville, Louisville, KY Morehead State University, Morehead, KY Murray State University, Murray, KY Transylvania University, Lexington, KY Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY Northern Kentucky University, Highland Heights, KY SENDING COMMANDS TO WHOIS ========================= If you have BITNET access, you can query the WHOIS server interactively, using the TELL command. For instance: TELL WHOIS AT UKCC WHOIS FOOBLE or TELL WHOIS AT UKCC GUESS AT NKU BOOGLE If you don't have access to BITNET, you can query the WHOIS server via electronic mail. Send your email to whois@ukcc.uky.edu, and place your commands in the body (NOT the Subject line) of the message. The HELP command will send you back a full list of commands. UNLV: Student Accounts: redrock.nevada.edu uns-helios.nevada.edu is used by some students, but may be changing into a research machine. Univ. of Louisville: @ULKYVX.BITNET Univ. of Maine: Campus mainframe: username@maine.bitnet CS Faculty and Students: userid@gandalf.umcs.maine.edu Univ. of Maryland/College Park: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993 U.Md. has several campuses, but we currently have information only for the College Park campus. Employees (faculty and staff): Finger name@umail.umd.edu. Names are usually flnumber or firstname_MI_LASTNAME (e.g. dm17 or 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 info.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 firstname_mi_lastname@umail.umd.edu. Univ. of Massachusetts/Amherst: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Students/Faculty: first.{mi.}last@student.umass.edu (This is on the CDC Cyber NOS/VE system.) Another common format is first.{mi.}last@saturn.ucc.umass.edu. 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 FML@titan.ucs.umass.edu 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}lastname@ecs.umass.edu. 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. Univ. of Massachusetts/Lowell: All CS students and University UNIX users are generally addressable as flllllll@cs.ulowell.edu. 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 llllllf@woods.ulowell.edu. 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. Univ. of Michigan: 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 firstname.lastname@umich.edu). (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: USERxxx@UMICHUM.BITNET 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" server running at gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu port 70, 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 postmaster@umich.edu. Alternately: 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> to get finger information for NAME Univ. of Minnesota: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 In general, try fingering fname.mname.lname@umn.edu. 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 staff.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 student.tc.umn.edu, whether they know it or not. Chemistry (faculty, staff, grads): lname@chemsun.chem.umn.edu The login is usually the person's last name, although there are some exceptions. Statistics: umnstat.stat.umn.edu. Userid varies; use finger. Univ. of Missouri/Rolla: cs.umr.edu Univ. of Missouri/St. Louis: CS: arch.umsl.edu This machine isn't fingerable, but its address info is available by fingering at aber.umsl.edu. Undergrads: clemens.umsl.edu, twain.umsl.edu The id can be obtained by fingering either of these machines using the last name of the student. Univ. of Montreal: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 General: username@ere.umontreal.ca Usernames are typically last names (maximum = 8 letters). Univ. of Nebraska at Omaha: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Any currently enrolled UNO student and faculty and staff may obtain accounts on CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), host cwis.unomaha.edu The university no longer subscribes to Bitnet, only Internet. Undergraduate Students and Faculty: zeus.unomaha.edu Main academic VAX running VMS. All computer science students receive academic accounts of the form CCXXX where CC is a 2-character class code and XXX is a number from 000 (usually the instructor) up to 999 (usually smaller than 050 in practice). These accounts are reset each semester. Permanent accounts are also on Zeus, usually a last name or nickname. Permanent student accounts are of the form ZAXXX for unaffiliated students, or organizational forms like ACMXXX and IEEEXXX for members of their respective student organizations. Any undergraduate student who asks nicely can get a ZA account, or an organizational account if they are a member. UNO Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery: acm.unomaha.edu All members have accounts, usually some form of the name (not fingerable, this computer is also the former unocss.unomaha.edu in case you haven't guessed). Polite mail to postmaster@acm.unomaha.edu may yield information about an ACM member or math/CS student. Univ. of Nebraska at Lincoln: Engineering: engvms.unl.edu Computing Staff and some students: crcvms.unl.edu CS students: cse.unl.edu All students above the classification of sophomore have name accounts on cse.unl.edu (first initial appended to the last name) but you can also finger the machine. Univ. of New Brunswick: (Fredericton, NB, Canada) Computing Services: csd.unb.ca All students are automatically given MUSIC accounts on the VM service and can send and receive mail, however, there is at present no easy way to determine the MUSIC id knowing the name of the student. Depending on course requirements, students may also have accounts on the MVS or UNIX systems. Requests for non-student userids can be sent to our on-line directory server. Send mail to Directry@UNB.Ca, If the 1st non-blank line of the mail is Help or Find name, the name will be searched and the results mailed back to the address in the From: field of the mail. The server is bilingual (English/French) and will also respond to the commands Aide or Recherche name. MVS machine: unbmvs1.csd.UNB.ca VM machine: unbvm1.csd.UNB.ca UNIX machine: jupiter.sun.csd.UNB.ca (finger works) Univ. of New Hampshire: General university users: unhh.unh.edu (same as hilbert.unh.edu). User names, both student and staff, are generally of the form F_LAST where F is the person's first initial and LAST is the person's last name. CS class accounts and undergrad CS: kepler.unh.edu. User names are usually the person's initials (sometimes postfixed by a 3 digit course number for intro classes). Grad CS and Faculty: cs.unh.edu. With only a few exceptions, all logins are the person's initials. Univ. of New Mexico Try finger lastname@carina.unm.edu. User names are usually of the form FLLLLLLL (8 characters max). Accounts may be on many different hosts within unm.edu but the finger database on carina seems to know where all the accounts are. If carina is unavailable try vesta. Univ. of New Orleans Created: Tue Mar 30 1993 Faculty Accounts: fml@uni.edu Student Accounts: Initials followed by 2 letter name of department, e.g. fmlEE@uno.edu Class Accounts: Two letters signifying department that issued account, 6 numbers or letters signifying a unique id and then the four digits of the class e.g. EE_123tt2551 Univ. of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) Created: Thu Jul 1 1993 Faculty and staff: F.Lastname@UNSW.edu.au Students: Yxxxxxxx@UNSW.edu.au, where Y is U for undergrads and P for graduates/postgraduates, and xxxxxxx represents the student ID number Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Changed: Tue Apr 13 1993 General: Firstname_Lastname@unc.edu. In case of conflict try Firstname_M_Lastname@unc.edu. The UNC BBS is Firstname.Lastname@launchpad.unc.edu CS: All CS students get an account on the network of workstations. The login is usually just the first 8 characters of the student's last name. Name conflicts are usually resolved by appending the first initial and/or the middle initial to the last name. Mail may be sent to username@cs.unc.edu. You may finger both by userid and real name at cs.unc.edu. Faculty and Staff: One can get an email address from the online phonebook. telnet to info.oit.unc.edu login as info follow the menus to Campus Directory Medical School: students, staff, and faculty. Finger name@who.med.unc.edu OR send mail to request@med.unc.edu asking for the address. Once you find the login name, send mail to login@med.unc.edu Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte: userid@mosaic.uncc.edu Userids are of the form fmlastname. Univ. of North Dakota: see North Dakota Network Univ. of North Florida CS undergrads, grads, faculty: flast@unf6.cis.unf.edu, where last may be limited to 6-8 characters. Information Science undergrads: unf1vm.cis.unf.edu. Unfortunately names are assigned randomly, so it's nearly impossible to guess unless you already have contact with someone. Others generally don't have accounts unless they ask for them. Univ. of Northern Iowa. Created: Tue Mar 30 1993 Finger username@uni.edu Univ. of Notre Dame: The University of Notre Dame now supports full name human readable e-mail addresses, such as John.Q.Student.1@nd.edu. All members of the Notre Dame community have e-mail addresses on nd.edu; however, at this time (June, 1992) the vast majority of them are "uninitialized". This means the user has not specifically told the server how to deliver e-mail to this user, so e-mail to this user will fail. All members of the Notre Dame community also have userids in our AFS file space. Userids in this file space tend to be of the form flllllll or flllllln. Some users who use the AFS file system might not have initialized their entries on the nd.edu name server; conversely, many community members who can receive mail via nd.edu ignore their AFS userids. Notre Dame also has many other central and departmental computer systems which can send and receive e-mail. As more and more users initialize their nameserver accounts there will be less need to remember these specific local systems and userids. However, for the time being, they are often the best addresses for some members of the Notre Dame community. All students are given accounts on darwin.cc.nd.edu, but not all students use them. Usernames are of the form flllllll. In case of name conflicts, numbers are added to the end to disambiguate. Questions can be sent to info@nd.edu. Univ. of Oklahoma/Norman: flllllll@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu Univ. of Oregon: CS Grads and Faculty: <username>@cs.uoregon.edu CS Undergrads/CIE: <username>@cie.uoregon.edu (this is only for CS undergrads subscribing to the campus information exchange) Others?: fmlast@oregon.uoregon.edu for those with email accounts U-mail: first.middle.last@oregon.uoregon.edu for those without email. Such letters are printed out with a cover sheet and delivered through the normal campus mail system (graduate students, staff, and faculty only -- undergrads do not have on-campus addresses). Univ. of Oslo (Norway) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Department of Informatics: userid@ifi.uio.no Faculty and staff mailboxes may be f.lastname or firstname.lastname or f.m.lastname Univ. of Pennsylvania: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Undergrad engineering, SEAS course accounts: eniac.seas.upenn.edu Undergrad/Grad Business: wharton.upenn.edu (all business students can get an account if they want one) Lastname plus two number identification string (arbitrary) Grad CS: grad1.cis.upenn.edu CS faculty/staff: central.cis.upenn.edu Medical School: lastname_f@a1.mscf.upenn.edu. Medical students, biomed grad students, and some faculty have accounts on this system. Undergrad Arts&Science: @sas.upenn.edu Try whois -h whois.upenn.edu lname, or whois -h whois.upenn.edu ? for help. Univ. of Pittsburgh: Students get their choice of Unix or VMS accounts, addressed as user@unix.cis.pitt.edu and user@vms.cis.pitt.edu, respectively. Student user names are of the form fmlst, where fml are their initials and "st" stands for "student". To finger the VMS accounts you must finger at vm1.cis.pitt.edu or vm2.cis.pitt.edu. Mail addressed to user@cis.pitt.edu won't be rejected, but doesn't seem to be readable for the user's VMS account. Computer Science : cs.pitt.edu Electrical Eng : ee.pitt.edu Library & Info Science : lis.pitt.edu Medical School : med.pitt.edu Univ. of Rochester: Undergraduate, Student Staff, and a few others: uhura.cc.rochester.edu (fingerd has been re-enabled on uhura, but will be permanently disabled if finger attacks resume) All incoming students now receive accounts on uhura - but whether they use them is another matter. Graduate CS: cs.rochester.edu Class Accounts, Faculty, and Graduate: troi.cc.rochester.edu Psychology: prodigal.psych.rochester.edu Anyone _who does not already have an account on another machine_ can also get an account on db1.cc.rochester.edu (vax). Whois server: whois -h db1.cc.rochester.edu <name> Gives phone but not email for most faculty and staff at the University of Rochester and Strong Memorial Hospital. Userids are set up as follows: (Where xxxx is a 4 letter code based on your name, yyy is a 3 character random code and DPCRN is DePartment, Course Reference Number) xxxx_ltd: Standard account before August 1992; anyone can get one flnnnx: Standard accounts for incoming students and all new limited accounts. (fl initials, nnn a number, x a letter) xxxx_ss: Student Staff xxxx_eng: Some english accounts xxxx: Usually system staff or administrators yyydpcrn: Class accounts (I.E. aa1CS100 would be a computer science 100 class account, aa1eg150 would be English 150, etc...) Anyone who has an account on db1 can also mail/post from the following hosts: db{2,3,4,5,6,7}.cc.rochester.edu Univ. of Saskatchewan: Whois server available on access.usask.ca. Not a definitive list. Undergraduates generally do not have mail access and are not registered with the whois server. Other queries should be addressed to postmaster@sask.usask.ca. Univ. of Scranton, (Scranton, PA): All students are entitled to free accounts, many students don't use them. Generally, all math, CS, engineering, accounting and psychology majors use VAX accounts. Fingering by first and last names works. Students: fmlxx@jaguar.uofs.edu where f is first initial, m is middle initial and l is last initial, and XX is a number usually between 1 and 20, but sometimes higher. Faculty: lastname@jaguar.uofs.edu lastname is sometimes followed by a number but usually not. Univ. of South Carolina (Columbia, SC): Graduate CS : usceast.cs.scarolina.edu,calvin.cs.scarolina.edu Graduate ECE: charlie.ece.scarolina.edu Univ. of Southern California: General: usc.edu Undergrad: aludra.usc.edu nunki.usc.edu usc.edu girtab.usc.edu phakt.usc.edu Graduate: pollux.usc.edu chaph.usc.edu Robotics: iris.usc.edu Faculty: pollux.usc.edu Computing Staff: skat.usc.edu Others: merlin.usc.edu and castor.usc.edu Univ. of Southern Maine: Created: Tue Aug 3 1993 Finger userid@portland.caps.maine.edu Univ. of Southern Mississippi: Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Try finger lastname@whale.st.usm.edu All students have an account on USMCP6.BITNET but many don't know it. The student must make a special request to use bitnet mail and there is no way to tell if he/she has been so set up. This machine is soon to acquire TCP/IP software, which may then provide finger. Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana: The entire campus population has the option to participate in electronic mail. One system is reserved for campus communications, but users can recieve mail directly at other machines without participating in the centralized system. Name look-up: telnet usl.edu -or- telnet bss.usl.edu login as user "motd" select terminal type - type dumb exists if you must! select motd program - "mail-directory" for name search - n <CR> enter partial name then <CR> use "f" and "b" to flip pages second column is user mail address enter "a" or "c" to end program Sending mail: mail to address abc1234@usl.edu accounts typically are initials and last four digits of university ID # Users can also have easy to remember aliases setup, ask when you make contact. Users receiving mail at usl.edu may forward their mail to a machine they use more often, you will be notified after 24 hours if usl.edu can not forward the mail to its destination. Users who do not participate in the centralized mail system can have independant mail address on campus. Typically locations are ... CS/CE Grads: gator.cacs.usl.edu, swamp@cacs.usl.edu CE Grads: a2fay.cacs.usl.edu Undergrads & other grads: ucs.usl.edu, ea.usl.edu Univ. of Texas/Austin: Student/Faculty/Staff: walt.cc.utexas.edu, happy.cc.utexas.edu (these are NFS Sun2's). Class Accounts: ix1.cc.utexas.edu, ix2.cc.utexas.edu, emx.utexas.edu CS: cs.utexas.edu ECE Research Group: unga-gw.ece.utexas.edu, ece.utexas.edu Chemical Engineering (Grads, Faculty): che.utexas.edu The University of Texas at Austin maintains an online database which contains, among other things, a Faculty/Staff/Student directory. Telnet to utcat.utexas.edu to log on, hit a couple of returns, and just follow the prompt to get to the directory. Univ. of Texas/Dallas: Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993 fllllll@utdallas.edu finger <part of person's name>@utdallas.edu lists all the matching full names and the corresponding user ids. For more information about most of the graduate students (irrespetive of major), staff and professors, use: finger <user id>@apache.utdallas.edu Univ. of Texas/San Antonio: Student/Faculty/Staff: lonestar.utsa.edu CS: ringer.cs.utsa.edu Usernames are typically first initial last name except for faculty usernames on ringer which are last name only. Univ. of Toronto: (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) The University has two domains: toronto.edu and utoronto.ca. Generally, undergraduates are not given free accounts unless if they are in Engineering or Computer Science. Undergraduates that do research with any of the departments listed below will usually get an e-mail account. Fingering is available in almost every site. Astronomy Department: astro.utoronto.ca Botany Department: botany.utoronto.ca Chemistry Department: alchemy.chem.utoronto.ca Computer Science Department: cs.utoronto.ca Computer Systems Research Institute: csri.utoronto.ca C.S. Undergrads (Computing Disciplines Facility): cdf.utoronto.ca Engineering Computing Facility: ecf.utoronto.ca Geography Department: geog.utoronto.ca Geophysics Department: mantle.physics.utoronto.ca Geology Department: geology.utoronto.ca Library and Information Science: flis.utoronto.ca Mechanical Engineering: me.utoronto.ca Mathematics Department: math.utoronto.ca Pharmacy/Medicine: phm.utoronto.ca, med.utoronto.ca Physics Department: physics.utoronto.ca Psychology Department: psych.utoronto.ca Scarborough College: scar.utoronto.ca Statistics Graduates and Professors: utstat.utoronto.ca Zoology: zoo.utoronto.ca Univ. of Trondheim (Norway): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Students at the University of Trondheim can be reached at the following mail adresses: NTH (Norw. Inst of Techn.) : userid@solan.unit.no AVH (Coll. of Arts and Science) firstname.lastname@avh.unit.no A postmaster service exists at both sites. Employees and students at AVH can also be found in the EAN Directory Service. The Norwegian Institute of Technology, aka NTH (Norges Tekniske Hoegskole). All students at NTH have the right to open an account on the the email machines, but this right is not very heavily advertized, so most people don't use the machines. Login names may be FLLLLLLL, LLLLLLLL, FFFFFFFF, FMLLLLLL, or (for people with very common first and last names) MMMMMMMM (8 characters maximum). FLLLLLLL is probably the most common; MMMMMMMM and especially FMLLLLLL is probably quite rare. LLLLLLLL and FFFFFFFFF may be used if the user's last or first names are not not very common, especially if they are foreign. NTH Department of Computer Systems and Telematics: @idt.unit.no Univ. of Turku (Turku, Finland): Created: Tue Apr 6 1993 Finger firstname.lastname@utu.fi, or "anyname*"@utu.fi Gopher server: gopher.utu.fi Postal address: University of Turku, FIN-20500 Turku General questions: utu.kysymykset.sekalaiset@utu.fi University telephone exchange: +358 21 633 51 Computing centre operators: +358 21 633 5928 Computing centre office time (GMT +2) help line: +358 21 633 6000 Univ. of the Pacific: Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993 Main computer center machines (both fingerable0: vms1.cc.uop.edu (VAX VMS) unix1.cc.uop.edu (Ultrix <Unix>) Most accounts (but not all) are FLastname (limited to 8 characters on unix1.) Contact postmaster@unix1.cc.uop.edu for further help. Computer Science: uop.cs.uop.edu. Most of the internet users are on this machine. Finger service is available. Recent accounts use FLLLLLLL. Older accounts use a variety of account name formats. Contact: postmaser@uop.cs.uop.edu. Univ. of Ulm (Ulm, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany): Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 Main campus system: rzmain.rz.uni-ulm.de (dulruu51 on bitnet). Every university member can get accounts on this VMS-cluster, but not everyone does. Students: firstname.lastname@student.uni-ulm.de Other: firstname.lastname@departement.uni-ulm.de departments are: rz (computer centre staff), physik (physics), chemie (chemistry), biologie (biology), mathematik (math), informatik (cs), medizin (medical), e-technik (EE) Contact address: postmaster@rz.uni-ulm.de Computer Science: Undergraduates: login@pcpool1.informatik.uni-ulm.de; login names consists of maximal 6 letters of the last name and the first and last letter of the first name, e.g. muellehs for Hans Mueller Contact address: patzel@informatik.uni-ulm.de Graduate Students and Faculty: lastname@informatik.uni-ulm.de Neuroinformatik: lastname@neuro.informatik.uni-ulm.de Mathematics: Undergraduates: CFLLLLLL@colossix.mathematik.uni-ulm.de: C represents the course (P: Programmieren, S: Software, W: Wahlpflicht, F: Fan), F the first letter of the first name, and LLLLLL up to six letters of the last name Graduate Students and Faculty: lastname@mathematik.uni-ulm.de and firstname.lastname@mathematik.uni-ulm.de; finger lastname@laborix.mathematik.uni-ulm.de is possible Contact address: borchert@mathematik.uni-ulm.de Botanical Science: Contact address: hoppe@rzmain.rz.uni-ulm.de School of Medical Documentation: Students: logins are owned by groups of two students each: FFFFSSSS@smdmv2.klinik.uni-ulm.de, FFFF represents the first four letters of the first member and SSSS of the second member of a group finger lastname@smdmv2.klinik.uni-ulm.de is supported Contact address: smd@smd.klinik.uni-ulm.de Univ. of Utah: For accounts being managed by the University of Utah Computer Center, and any accounts that the department have turned in to the center, the directory is on PH.CC.UTAH.EDU and is accessible via the internet PH protocol. It is also accessible via the GOPHER program and it's related protocols. A limited version is availiable via the finger server at PH.CC.UTAH.EDU It is from this directory that the printed e-mail directory is made. CS Graduate Students: asylum.utah.edu CS Undergraduate Students: peruvian.utah.edu Pre-majors: cadehp0.eng.utah.edu CS Department: cs.utah.edu is the cs department main machine, for faculty, staff, and grads. Lots of departments have machines: [Very incomplete list] Elec. Eng.: ee.utah.edu Mathematics: math.utah.edu Physics: physics.utah.edu Chemistry: chemistry.utah.edu Chem. Eng.: che.utah.edu Mech. Eng.: mech.utah.edu Civ. Eng.: civil.utah.edu Biology: biology.utah.edu Mining: mines.utah.edu postmaster@xanadu.cc.utah.edu is the postmaster for more than half of the email accounts on campus, but not any cs machines. postmaster@cs.utah.edu is postmaster for CS machines postmaster@m.cc.utah.edu is postmaster for most unassigned students postmaster@science.utah.edu is postmaster for College of Science Machines. postmaster@cc.utah.edu gets most unassigned departments. postmaster@m.cc.utah.edu gets most unassigned students. postmaster@cave.cc.utah.edu gets cavers and most imaginary users. The medical center handles their own stuff separately, but they often appear in the online directory at ph.cc.utah.edu Univ. of Vermont: There are two main computing organizations on campus: UCS (University Computing Services) and EMBA-CF (Division of Engineering, Mathematics, and Business Administration, Computer Facility). As a general rule, people with accounts at EMBA-CF do not bother to obtain accounts at UCS. UVM's domain name is `uvm.edu', and sub-domains are not generally used. Most of the UVM network has most TCP ports blocked off, but one machine, emily.uvm.edu, can serve as a gateway for, for example, the finger program, (i.e., finger someone@somehost@emily.uvm.edu.) UCS has three main machines: uvmvax.uvm.edu (UVMVAX.BITNET), uvmvm.uvm.edu (UVMVM.BITNET), and UVMADMIN.BITNET. Accounts on UVMVAX (a VMS system) are generally of the form Lastname_F; accounts on UVMVM and UVMADMIN don't seem to follow any particular scheme, but Lastname and LastnameF seem to be popular. Many UCS staff people use their initials. UVMVAX supports unspecified finger only; UVMVM doesn't support finger at all. EMBA-CF supports computing for the departments of Math/Stat, Business Administration, CS/EE, and Civil/Mechanical Engineering, as well as the administration of the College of Engineering and Mathematics; all students, faculty, and staff in the Division are entitled to an account, although many students do not bother to get a non-class account. Sometimes, other people may be given accounts on EMBA-CF machines. EMBA-CF has three separate mail-spool servers, and users are free to forward their mail to whichever one they happen to prefer; these machines are uvm-gen.uvm.edu, hal.uvm.edu, and trantor.uvm.edu. uvm-gen is also known as just plain UVM.EDU, and most faculty and staff with accounts at EMBA-CF have a alias of the form Firstname{.M}.Lastname installed at uvm-gen. All other users, except for class and staff accounts, are assigned by last name, with a numeric suffix in case of collision. Staff accounts for work-study employees are usually of the form operfml. Class accounts are of the form ddNNNfml, where dd is the department (cs,ce,me,ee,ma,st,ba) and NNN is the class number; in case of collision, the class number or middle initial may be changed. There are two sub-domains: msg.uvm.edu belongs to Mach Systems Group, a group of graduate students involved porting operating systems (most notably, Mach 2.5 and 3.0) to local hardware; and med.uvm.edu belongs to the UVM School of Medicine, which is not very well networked as yet. Univ. of Virginia: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Use host virginia.edu for all mail. To find people, use whois -h whois.virginia.edu name or else gopher. If the server says someone doesn't have an account, that's not necessarily true. Univ. of Washington, Seattle: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 CS Grads and Faculty: lastname@cs.washington.edu Most folks are on carson.u.washington.edu or stein.u.washington.edu. Usernames can be anything. Mail sent via u.washington.edu should forward to the appropriate account. CS students, grads, and faculty can generally be looked up by last name at cs.washington.edu; if not, try june.cs.washington.edu for grads and faculty, and wolf.cs.washington.edu for undergrads. Univ. of Waterloo, Ontario: Userids are of of the form <initials>+<surname> (e.g. mbmulroney, ghwbush), and may be any length (for most machines; some still restrict them to 8 characters. Mail servers send you back a list of possible userids if the one you tried doesn't match any known user. Math/CS undergraduates: undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca CS graduate students: neumann.uwaterloo.ca CS and Math Graduate Students: violet.uwaterloo.ca and jeeves.uwaterloo.ca CS faculty may be found on one or more of the primary machines {watdragon, maytag, watcgl, daisy, jeeves, grand, poppy, vlsi, watmsg, math, watserv1}.uwaterloo.ca (there are lots more) Engineering undergraduate students: userid usually of form <surname>+<initials> or <initials>+<surname>, at one of {chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical}.watstar.uwaterloo.ca Also try @1302 and @108 for chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering -- these are used mainly for lower-year students from all engineering departments. Systems Design Engineering: watnow.uwaterloo.ca Physics students: physics.watstar.uwaterloo.ca. Art Students: artspas.watstar.uwaterloo.ca. Univ. of West Sydney (Hawkesbury, Australia) Created: Tue Jun 29 1993 hawkesbury.uws.edu.au Univ. of Western Ontario, London, Ontario: Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993 Computing and Communications Services operates a campus directory service as well as a campus E-mail forwarding service. This covers all of the faculty and staff listed in the campus telephone directory as well as many students. Registration is voluntary but for faculty and staff is reasonably complete and accurate. % whois -h whois.uwo.ca name eg. whois -h whois.uwo.ca smith eg. whois -h whois.uwo.ca j.smith eg. whois -h whois.uwo.ca john.smith The mail forwarding service works for common names as well: % mail common-name@uwo.ca eg. mail smith@uwo.ca eg. mail j.smith@uwo.ca eg. mail john.smith@uwo.ca Mail will either be forwarded to the user with that common name, or if the name is not unique, you will receive a returned message listing all users with that common name. Univ. of Wisconsin/La Crosse: username@uwlax.edu Usernames are arbitrary. Try fingering by the lastname. Univ. of Wisconsin/Madison: Phone book server (staff only): finger lname@wisc.edu CS: cs.wisc.edu Engineering: cae.wisc.edu Undergrads: Class accounts based on first and last name, @garfield.cs.wisc.edu. For other departments, you can sometimes guess the hostname from the department name. Thus: meteor.wisc.edu for Meteorology, math.wisc.edu for Mathematics. Univ. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee: Many students - csd4.csd.uwm.edu, convex.csd.uwm.edu EE ugrad and grad - ee.uwm.edu CS grad - point.cs.uwm.edu CS fac - blatz.cs.uwm.edu Students taking Comp Sci Classes: miller.cs.uwm.edu In fact if you finger cs.uwm.edu you get: Computer Science users at UWM are normally on workstations or other backbone computing machines. To locate a faculty member, graduate student or undergraduate student, you can use the finger program. The finger program can help you locate a user who is known to the CS machines at UWM. To locate a user do finger person-X@cs.uwm.edu Where X=F|f if the person is a CS faculty member X=G|g if the person is a CS grad student X=U|u if the person is a CS undergraduate student X=E|e if the person is an Engineering student X=O|o Other University machines(Just some of them!) Undergraduates are for the most part on miller.cs.uwm.edu. Graduate students are usually on cvax.cs.uwm.edu. To get a complete list of cs-faculty, finger csfac@cs.uwm.edu. Univ. of Wisconsin - River Falls: uwrf.bitnet University of Wyoming (Laramie, WY) Created: Mon Mar 22 1993 The main computer on which every student/faculty/ employee can have an account on (if they wish) is CORRAL.UWYO.EDU (a vaxcluster made up of OUTLAW.UWYO.EDU or POSSE.UWYO.EDU) The username is completely unpredictable (totally at the choice of the user). Finger at corral or posse. The graduate Cosci students often have an account on RODEO.UWYO.EDU with the same username as on CORRAL. The engineering students all have accounts on DS1.UWYO.EDU. Most incoming freshman these days will get an account on our Vax (Corral) because it looks like the freshman orientation class requires it. Utah State University: cc.usu.edu - This is the MAIN VAX. A Vax 6510 that is usually the system that everyone uses for most purposes. Our usenet news is on this computer as well as other utilities. This is also the system that is a bitnet node (USU). So mail can be sent to usu.bitnet as well. mua.usu.edu - This is our Micro-VAX that is running ultrix. Because this is the popular domain for TinyTALK and TinyFUGUE programs, the active Gamers use this system. You can finger both systems, the account names are given in a random fashion that consists of a five letter code. The first two letters usually denoting whether the user is a student or a faculty member. SL___ account belong to students and FA___ accounts belong to faculty members. The easiest way to locate a user is to send mail to OPERATOR@cc.usu.edu or, if your system supports the bitnet SEND command, use SEND OPERATOR@USU and ask them to look up the name for you. Vanderbilt University: Engineering faculty and grad students: @vuse.vanderbilt.edu (most user IDs are the three initials) Undergrads and other grad students: @ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu Most user IDs are llllllfm (8 chars max). You can't finger on this VAX cluster; try sending mail to userserv@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu; you should get a response within a business day or so. Vassar: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Students: FFLastname@vaxsar.vassar.edu. (Formerly FMLLLLLLLLLL). Every student is given a VAX account, but few actually activate them (by asking for a password). Faculty: Faculty must request an account in order to get it, but most of those who have accounts use them. Recent faculty usernames are of the same form as students; previously they were lastnames followed by enough letters of the first name to ensure uniqueness. Their accounts are also on vaxsar.vassar.edu. Fingering with the username or the lastname will usually work. Virginia Tech: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, normally just called Virginia Tech. As of June 7, 1993, try finger lastname@vt.edu first. It replaces the older SSImail system, and augments the stuff described in the rest of this entry. CS undergrads: try userid@csugrad.cs.vt.edu first non-CS: To find CoSY users: CoSY users can only get mail from other CoSY users; become one by telnetting to vtcosy.cns.vt.edu and following directions. Find people by finger @vtcosy Physics students: try LastnameFM@vtcc1.cc.vt.edu Physics staff: try LasstnameFM@vtvm2.cc.vt.edu Wake Forest University: llllllfm@wfunet.wfu.edu Washington University, St. Louis MO: Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993 Arts&Sciences undergrads: fmllllll@pear.wustl.edu or @artsci.wustl.edu Undergrad Engineers: All have accounts on cec1.wustl.edu and cec2.wustl.edu (cec2.uucp). finger lastname@cec_userfs_u.wustl.edu. Userids are the user's three initials followed by a single digit for disambiguating name conflicts. If there is no name conflict, the extra digit is a 1. Fingering from outside the university sometimes works. Also, some computer science students have accounts on wucs1, and anyone can have an account on maria. On these machines, the user chooses his/her own login name to be enabled. Usernames for engineering faculty are just their three initials. Wayne State University, Detroit MI All students in the University, regardless of their major or college can have access to an account. Engineering: ss0.eng.wayne.edu (or nova, or ece, or any solar planet, e.g. sun, venus, ...) CS: jupiter.cs.wayne.edu, zeus.cs.wayne.edu These machines support finger. Most other students' accounts are on wu.cc.wayne.edu; try 'finger partial-name@wu.cc.wayne.edu' to find information about anyone with "partial-name" in their name. Wellesley College (Wellesley, Massachusetts) FLastname#@lucy.wellesley.edu, where F is first initial, and digit # is used only to disambiguate (e.g. JSMITH1). Finger not accepted from remote sites. Faculty names never get the #. Wesleyan: Accounts are on eagle.wesleyan.edu. The username is of the form FLname, where F is the first initial and Lname is the lastname of the individual. West Chester University: Users (at least undergraduates, if not others) are given accounts on a machine whose name is the same as the first letter of their last name. Usernames are of the form fllllll. So John Doe would be jdoe%d%wcu@isn.wcupa.edu. Send mail to postmaster@isn.wcupa.edu if you have questions. West Point, the United States Military Academy Host names are of the form usmaX.usma.edu, for X from 1 to 18. Try 'finger lastname@host', starting with usma18 (since lower-numbered machines tend to refuse a finger connection). Actual mailboxes for cadets are of the form xYNNNNCC where x is the letter x, Y is last digit of graduating year (e.g. 6 for 1996), NNNN is a student ID code, and CC is company (letter-digit, e.g. D4). Western Montana College Try f_llllllll@wmc.edu. This site has no finger server. Address: 710 S. Pacific, Dillon, MT 59725 Wheaton College (Norton, MA): Created: Mon Jul 12 1993 @acunix.wheatonma.edu Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993 Try llllfffm@david.wheaton.edu. Finger works. Whitman College (Walla Walla, WA): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 LLLLLLLL@marcus.whitman.edu works for faculty and students. The node does support finger. Widener University: General: First.Last@cyber.widener.edu (it may also need a middle initial) CS: lastname@cs.widener.edu Willamette University, Salem OR: userid is <first initial><lastname> (e.g. ksmith) up to 8 characters all students, faculty and staff <userid>@willamette.edu Williams College: Changed: Tue Apr 6 1993 Students: Firstname.M.Lastname@williams.edu, possibly with _N (N a number) to disambiguate. Usernames *used to be* YYFML (YY = year, F = first initial, M = middle initial, L = last initial); these can still be found by fingering @bigbird.cc.williams.edu Williams' postmaster will not give out user ids to outside requests. Worcester Polytechnic Institute: @wpi.wpi.edu Xavier University (Cincinnati, OH): Created: Tue Aug 3 1993 Students: studentID@xavier.xu.edu, where the ID is a six-digit number assigned by the university. Faculty: lastname@xavier.xu.edu Administration: lastname@admin.xu.edu These sites support whois and finger. Yale: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Fingering name@directory.yale.edu will give you all Unix people's email addresses, as well as their phone numbers. Finger Finger@directory.yale.edu for further directions. Grad CS, Undergrad CS: lastname-firstname@cs.yale.edu (yalecs.bitnet) Undergrad Accounts (plus faculty & grad students in many non-CS Graduate School depts.): YALEVM: (about 10% of students): finger LLLFFFM@yalevm.ycc.yale.edu (or LLLFFFM@yalevm.bitnet). Users can also request custom names. Mail queries can go to consult@yalevm.bitnet or postmaster@cs.yale.edu, as appropriate. MINERVA: (about 85% of students): host minverva.cis.yale.edu. Students choose login names, so there is no rule. Many use <FFFFFFFL> or <FLLLLLLL> or <FFFFFFFF> or <LLLLLLLL>... try every combination you can think of. If this doesn't work, the following way to find the MINERVA login name, and then to use it when fingering <@minerva.cis.yale.edu> should do: finger <Lastname-Firstname@yale.edu> will give you (after one or two trials) the MINERVA login name. QUICKMAIL: <First_M_Last@quickmail.cs.yale.edu>. Medical School: yalemed.bitnet York University (Toronto, Ontario) Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 Try ``finger name@yorku.ca'' using first name, last name and probable userid. Also try ``whois -h horton.yorku.ca name'', also with first and last names. The faculty and staff phone book is available on gopher from gopher.yorku.ca and experimentally by ph from the same machine. About 1/3 of the faculty and staff have email, and perhaps 1/8 of the students. Faculty, Staff: userid@yorku.ca or userid@faculty.yorku.ca Userids are often first-initial last-name, but do vary. Student userids do not follow a simple pattern. Students with email are on ariel,yorku.ca (computer science), glade.yorku.ca (cs and part-time students), writer.yorku.ca (computer aided writing centre) and calumet.yorku.ca. Most of these clusters are fingerable. Questions can be sent to postmaster@yorku.ca; they're not too useful when searching for students, as there is no student phonebook. However ``whois -h horton.yorku.ca name'' discovers many student adresses. ======= ;;; *EOF* -- Software Technology Laboratory dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca (David Alex Lamb) Computing and Information Science phone: (613) 545-6067 Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6
