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

An updated version of this list is posted every once in a while to the
newsgroups soc.college, soc.net-people and news.answers.  The version date for
this list is located at the top of the file. The list is also available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.qucis.queensu.ca (host 130.15.1.100) in the directory
pub/dalamb/college-email as the files faq1.text, faq2.text, and faq3.text.
You can also get the file by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu (18.172.1.27) in
the file /pub/usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses, or by sending a mail
message to "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" with the subject
        send dalamb/college-email
or by sending a message to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" with the subject
        send usenet/soc.college/Student_Email_Addresses

A copy of this file may be found on the WAIS server at wais.cic.net,
thanks to Edward Vielmetti (emv@msen.com, emv@cic.net).

After a discussion of general facilities for locating email addresses,
we present detailed information on locating the email addresses of
students, faculty and staff at various universities.

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

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

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

o  finger

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

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

        % finger mkant@cs.cmu.edu
        [CS.CMU.EDU]

        [ Forwarding mkant as "mkant+@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu" ]

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

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

   Fingering using last names or full names may work, depending on the
   site:
        % finger Mark.Kantrowitz@cs.cmu.edu
        [CS.CMU.EDU]
        [ Forwarding Mark.Kantrowitz as "mkant+@a.gp.cs.cmu.edu" ]

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

   If fingering using the last name doesn't work, you can try sampling
   various possibilities for userids. The following are some
   possibilities. After the description of each possibility, I give
   an example in square brackets with either my name (Mark Kantrowitz,
   no middle initial) or "John C Smith", and a generic acronym for the
   method (these acronyms will be used in the detailed listings
   section of this file).
        -  Many UNIX sites limit userids to 8 characters, so try the
           first 8 characters of the last name. [smith or kantrowi] llllllll
        -  If there are two people with the same last name, the first
           initial (and possibly the middle initial as well) are appended
           at the front of the name. [jsmith or jcsmith] flllllll fmllllll
        -  Try appending the initials at the end of the name. [smithj
           or smithjc] lllllllf llllllfm
        -  Try the initials of the users name. [jcs] fml

   Unfortunately, you cannot finger to bitnet addresses.

o  whois/nicname

   Whois is the internet user name directory service. Do
        whois help
        nicname -h
   to get a help message. The whois and nicname programs will check
   the database maintained by SRI-NIC (Network Information Center
   at SRI International) for the given names. For example,
        nicname <name>
        whois <name>
        whois -h <host> <names>  (e.g., whois -h stanford.edu <names>)
   This is only useful for people listed in the database. Many regional
   networks and some universities maintain their own NICs.

   You can also get some of this information by telneting to nic.ddn.mil
   and running whois and host there.

o  Merit Network NetMail database

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

o  nslook/nslookup and hostq programs

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

o  Netfind

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

o  help/gripe/olc

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

o  postmaster

   Most sites have an individual responsible for network and mail operations
   at the site, usually with the userid of 'postmaster'. So if you're having
   trouble with mail, first send mail to postmaster at your site, and if
   that fails, try sending it to postmaster at the destination site.
   Postmasters are usually very busy people, so try not to bother them much.

o  /etc/hosts

   Mail routing on the internet use to use a large file called
   /etc/hosts to validate host names. This file contained information
   regarding the known hosts on the network. Many sites have switched
   to using the BIND name server for this purpose, so the file /etc/hosts
   may be horribly out of date. On the other hand, some sites may use
   /etc/hosts as a backup when the name server isn't running. Usually
   sites will create the /etc/hosts file from the host data base maintained
   at SRI-NIC; unfortunately, the SRI-NIC database is incomplete. In any
   event, if you don't know the name of a machine at the university
   your friend is at, you can try greping through /etc/hosts for the
   university name or acronym to possibly come up with a likely for
   the site.

o  LISTSERV

   If the person is subscribed to a mailing list through a LISTSERV server,
   sending mail to the server with the line
        WHOIS <name>
   may catch the person. For example, listserv@buacca.bu.edu. This is an
   unlikely option. It also does not work with all listserv implementations.

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

Addresses overseas tend to have their components reversed. For
example, @uk.ac.dund.mcs will work fine if you happen to be in
UK domain, but not in the US or the rest of the world. Use
@mcs.dund.ac.uk instead.

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

Amherst College:
        Students, Faculty, Staff: userid@amherst.edu
        Usernames are of the form fmllllll (e.g., jqstudent), but
        truncated to 12 letters instead of 8.

        Amherst.edu has a finger daemon running, but it requires an exact
        username match (i.e. finger lastname@amherst.edu) doesn't work, as a
        rule.  It's also worth trying usernames like flllllll in case the
        person in question didn't register their middle initial with the
        College.


Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH):

        Flastname@Antioc.Antioch.Edu

        All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alum who request
        accounts can get them.  Almost all follow First Initial lastname
        setup.  Offices, such as ADMISSIONS, COOP etc have alias accounts.
        Best bet is to send mail to Postmaster or Laslow.

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

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

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

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

Ball State University:
        University Computing Services: username@bsuvax1.bitnet
        Some faculty and grad students have accounts on this machine.
        CS: username@bsu-cs.bsu.edu

Barnard: See Columbia.

Bates College (Lewiston, Maine):
        Students and Faculty: userid@abacus.bates.edu
        Userids are of the form flllllll.  Numbers are added to the end
        of the userid in case of name conflicts, e.g. asmith, asmith2, asmith3
        If the name is unique you can use firstname.lastname@bates.edu

Baylor College of Medicine:

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

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

        Questions about these facilities should be directed to
        postmaster@bcm.tmc.edu

Birmingham-Southern College (Birmingham, AL):
        bsc835!userid@uunet.uu.net where userid are of the form
        flllllll. Postmaster is bsc835!jbaxter@uunet.uu.net.

Boston Univ.:
        Main campus system: acs.bu.edu Everyone can
        get accounts on this machine, but not everyone does. Call the
        person and ask (they may never log on even if they have an
        account). Student Directory 617-353-3700, Faculty 617-353-2000.
        Usernames are any "socially acceptable" 8-character name
        Mail to listserv@buacca.bu.edu with "WHOIS whoever" will catch
        anyone subscribed to a LISTSERV list (not many people).
        Unix accounts: Mail or finger user@bu.edu or
           first.last@bu.edu.
        Mailing user@bu.edu is currently broken but should be fixed soon.

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

        In the fall, BU will set up a nameserver on bu.edu.

Bowdoin:
        fl*@bowdoin.bitnet, where f is the first initial, l* is the
        lastname up to some number of characters.

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

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

        For phone information: On-campus students can be reached by dialing an
        automated "spell-the-name" server at +1 617 736 3000 , 24 hours a day,
        or during business hours through the Brandeis operator at +1 617 736
        2000.  Off-campus students' numbers can be obtained through the campus
        information booth at +1 617 736 4770 during business hours.

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

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

        DIRECTIONS to Brandeis can be had 24 hours at +1 617 736 4660.

Brown:
        You can send mail to Firstname_Lastname@Brown.Edu if the user
        uses email and it will forward the mail to him or her. To find
        out whether the user has an email address, finger their name
        at brown.edu. This will return their preferred phone number,
        address, and email address if they use it.

        You can also try looking for undergrads on: brownvm.brown.edu
        (brownvm.bitnet) Username is some random alphanumerics.
        CS: cs.brown.edu (userids are usually initials)

Bryn Mawr College:
        F_LLLLLLLLLL@cc.brynmawr.edu (F_LLLLLLLLLL@BRYNMAWR.BITNET)
        The former is fingerable, unlike the .bitnet address. This
        machine is mostly used by undergrads.

Bucknell University:
        general: username@bucknell.edu
        cs: username@pollux.bucknell.edu
        usernames are typically last names, but if the last name is
        4 letters or shorter, the first and middle initials are
        tacked onto the front.

        First initials are frequently used in usernames.  The
        first user with any given last name who gets an account gets just
        his last name as the username.  Every subsequent person with that name
        gets a first initial and then middle initials are used.

        Example:
                        username        person
                        --------        ------
                        murray          Betty Murray, switchboard operator
                        dmurray         David Murray, senior
                        jmurray         Jeff Murray, senior
                        jemurray        Jonathan Murray, freshman


California Inst. of Tech:
        CCO MACHINES (undergrad/grad/general) CCO means campus computing org.
          Unix:
            tybalt.caltech.edu: also called tybalt.cco.caltech.edu or
            truebalt. There are about 15 machines on this cluster of
            Suns/NeXTs. The mail server is actually called
            cobalt.caltech.edu or cobalt.cco.caltech.edu (either one
            works).  All of these are equally good.
          VMS: Juliet.caltech.edu.  Also romeo,hamlet,iago,portia.
            These are all the same vax cluster.

        Undergrad Computer Science (also used by a lot of people who don't fit
          this discription. a fairly well used cluster. HP Bobcats
          running Unix).
            through.ugcs.caltech.edu (aka through.caltech.edu) is the server.
            Also, with the same endings: within, above, from, toward,
            around, beyond, over, betwixt, inside, near, besides,
            beneath, opposite, behind, amongst, atop, astride,
            against....., vex,heckle,irk,harry,grate,bullyrag,plague,torment,
            molest, and badger (the irc server).

        CS department (grad/undergrad/fac...not that well used).
          csvax.cs.caltech.edu (runs unix).

California Polytechnic State Univ./San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO):
        polyslo.CalPoly.edu

California State University/Chico:      csuchico.edu
California State University/Sacramento: csus.edu

Calvin College: calvin.edu
        Use 'finger name@calvin.edu' (eg firstname or lastname) to find
          addresses, since userids include parts of student numbers, so are
          hard to guess.
        Students:  flllllnn (first intitial, first 5 of last name,
          last 2 digits of student number; except lastnames starting with
          Dutch prefixes Van Vander Vande etc., where just the v and first 4
          letters of second part of lastname.  Thus Henk Vander Bos, #123456,
          becomes hvbos56, Al Shoemaker, #987654, becomes ashoem54)
        (formerly s0###### where ###### is the student id number)
        Faculty/staff:  xxxx@calvin.edu where "xxxx" is the standard
                        faculty abbrevation, often lastname

Carnegie Mellon University:
        Undergrad: andrew.cmu.edu
        Grad CS: cs.cmu.edu
        Grad Robotics: ri.cmu.edu
        ECE: ece.cmu.edu
        Mail sent to Fname.MI.Lname@andrew.cmu.edu works, even if the name
        is slightly misspelled. Andrew usernames are two initials followed
        by two random characters. Mail to CS/RI may be sent to
        Fname.Lname@cs.cmu.edu. CS/RI usernames are arbitrary names selected
        by the user. If you wish to send to the username, add a + at
        the end of the name: mkant+@cs.cmu.edu
        bitnet.cc.cmu.edu (carnegie.bitnet) is the gateway to bitnet.

        The CMU.EDU domain name has now been enabled for use of the new
        campus-wide mail/finger service.

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland:
        po.cwru.edu is the post office. Every student and professor
        has access to email through this machine. (Not everybody
        activates their account, however.) User ids are of the form
        fml##, where ## is a number, probably less than 30. The number
        is omitted if equal to 1. If there's no middle initial, m
        is an 'x'.

        skybridge.scl.cwru.edu is the server for the undergraduate
        computer lab. The user ids on that machine are the full last
        name, for the most part. (Mainly CS and EE's on this machine.)

        If a student is in the dorms, they have their own internet
        number, so you can FTP to their PC. Such machines are named
        b#####.student.cwru.edu where # is some digit.

Catholic University of America
        username@cua.edu (Internet)
        username@cua.bitnet (BITNet)
        All usernames are limited to 12 characters.  For students, names are 2
        digits followed by lastname.  For faculty and staff, usernames are the
        last name, occasionally with the first initial tacked on at the end.

City University of New York (CUNY):
        cunyvm.bitnet
        Userids:
                Students:  A99SC
                Faculty:  AAASC
                Liasons: LIASC

        Where A is any letter from A to Z
        Where 9 is any number from 1 to 9
        And SC is the initals for the college within City University.

        For example:    HC - Hunter College
                        QC - Queens College
                        BC - Brooklyn College
                        SI - College of Staten Island
                        LG - Laguardia Community College
                        BB - Bernard Baruch College.
                        YC - York College

                                it seems that all you can do is find out
                                if someone is logged in or not.)

Cornell:
        [As off fall 1992, undergrads are no longer given CornellA or
        Vax5 accounts as they were in the past. Instead, incoming students
        are given "network ids", which consist of first, middle and last
        initials, plus a number. Mail may then be sent to
        username@cornell.edu. Userids can be searched by using finger
        on qi.cornell.edu. Most older students have not switched over yet.
        Note that not all upperclass students who have network ids check
        their mail on the new system. Since many still use cornella and
        vax5 for mail, if they haven't set up autoforwarding, mail sent
        to cornell.edu will never reach them. If the name is unique,
        you can send mail to First.Last@cornell.edu or other variations.]

        Undergrads: vax5.cit.cornell.edu, cornella.cit.cornell.edu
        Anyone associated with Cornell full-time can get CIT accounts
        (CIT is the campus-wide computing facility). Not everybody does
        so, and accounts are only activated when people first log on to
        that machine. Everybody gets an account on the VMS machine vax5,
        and on one of the 370s, cornella and cornellc. Students and
        faculty are typically on cornella and staff on cornellc, but
        there are many exceptions.

        Postmaster won't give out addresses.

        Try: @cs.cornell.edu, @svax.cs.cornell.edu, cornellf.tc.cornell.edu
        or @theory.tc.cornell.edu (supercomputing center) for CS people.
        @eagle.tc.cornell.edu for AIX/370 folks.

        EE: @ee.cornell.edu

        Bitnet: cornella.bitnet, crnlvax5.bitnet, cornellc.bitnet (gateway).
        Username was previously their initials.

        Faculty and administrators who use QuickMail can be generally founds
        as first_last@qmrelay.mail.cornell.edu.

        As of Fall 1990, usernames are now randomly generated 4
        character IDs, which do not resemble real names at all.
        Faculty and staff may ask to have a 3-character id of their choice.
        [Actually, they are an (unknown) hash function of the
        student's social security number.]

        Since they have no online email address directory (or
        published hardcopy list, for that matter), and the
        administrators do not give out usernames over the phone, it
        is virtually impossible to reach someone via email unless
        you talk to them in person first. So your only bet is to call
        the Cornell Registrar at 607-255-4232, ask for the person's
        street address, and write them a letter.

        People can be looked up, including voluntarily-supplied email
        addresses (except for students) on CUINFO: telnet to
        cornellc.cit.cornell.edu, port 300.

        Cornell University has changed the way it gives accounts.
        Finger should work with "finger last-name@router.mail.cornell.edu"

Dakota State University (Madison, SD):

        finger dsuvax.dsu.edu for electronic mail addresses for any
        member of the faculty, staff, or student body.  Addresses
        are typically the first seven characters of the person's last
        name plus the first character of the person's first name.

        Please address questions to postmaster@dsuvax.dsu.edu.

Dartmouth:
        Send mail to fname.lname@dartmouth.edu (or fname.mi.lname if
        it is a very common name). If the name is ambiguous, you might
        want to finger fname.mi.lname@dartmouth.edu for info about
        exact mail address. Dartmouth.Edu resolves all mail through
        the Dartmouth Name Directory, which stores preferred email
        addresses for all students, faculty, and staff members.
        If the name is unique, you can even send mail to
        name@dartmouth.edu. Most undergrads have accounts on
        mac.dartmouth.edu. Students who don't use any email address
        get the automatic default, @hinman.dartmouth.edu, which
        prints out the email and drops it into campus mail.

Drew University (Madison, NJ):
        All students, faculty, and staff have accounts on drew.drew.edu
        (drew.bitnet). Whether they use them is another matter. Account
        names are usually of the form flllllll. In case of name collision,
        try fmllllll or fllllll#

Drexel University

          undergraduate, g for graduate, or t for temporary.

Duke:
        Undergrads, Grads, and many Faculty/Staff:
          The mail server is hercules.acpub.duke.edu. Mail to other machines
          will get forwarded to it. For usernames, people are allowed to
          select their own.  However, the Engineering school has taken to
          setting up accounts for its students, grads, and ugrads, and uses
          initials (fml) with possibly a number in case of name conflict.
          Everyone else could have anything as their userid, though people are
          encouraged to use their first initial and last name.
        Bitnet gateway: dukemvs.bitnet (dukemvs.ac.duke.edu)
        Math profs are probably {initials}@math.duke.edu

        Duke Law School is under the address charon.law.duke.edu, which is
          fingerable, but student.law.duke.edu seems to be the better mailing
          address.  Usernames can be hard to discover;
          postmaster@faculty.law.duke.edu has volunteered to forward mail to
          Law School faculty and staff, and suggest
          postmaster@student.law.duke.edu might be willing to do the same for
          students.

        Advanced computing students: FFFFFFFL@math.earlham.edu
          in the case of an 8-character first name, the userid is FFFFFFFF
          in the case of conflicts, the userid is FFFFFFLL, FFFFFLLL, etc.
          increasingly, students are being assigned userid's in the format:
                xxyz@yang.earlham.edu, where
          xx is the first two letters of the first name,
           y is the middle initial,
           z is the last name initial.
        Information can be sought via E-Mail from opr@yang.earlham.edu
        opr can get you directory info, or user info.


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.


Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech):
        All Users (faculty/staff/students): prism.gatech.edu
        (aka hydra.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.

        CS Dept (Faculty, staff, PhD students): gatech.edu, boa.gatech.edu
        user@cc.gatech.edu. (cc = College of Computing)

        Usernames:
                students: gtXXXXy (example: gt6953b)
                         XXXX = last 4 digits of Campus PO Box
                         y = A-E to make it unique (PO Boxes are shared, blaa)
             faculty/staff: first and last initial with numeric suffix to make
                it unique. (example: sh12)

             Accounts issued by other departments have different conventions,
             but users typically set up the appropriate forwarding addresses.

        Also try: username@hydra.gatech.edu,

        prism's postmaster will look up addresses so long as it does
        not become an onerous task.

        Most faculty and researchers have accounts on
        gtri01.gatech.edu (gtri01.bitnet), with usernames of up to 8
        characters of the format fllllll.

Glassboro State College:

    Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail
    to postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate. If you're
    not sure, send it to postmaster@saturn.glassboro.edu. For those with
    access to gopher you can find current email info on our server. It
    includes most of the electronic mail addresses on campus.

    gboro.glassboro.edu         Computer Science faculty
                                students

    Most students are accessible via <username>%saturn.dnet@glassboro.edu.
    Student usernames are last name, with first initial added to the end if
    needed.

        Note that you cannot finger glassboro.edu at present,
        but should be able to by July or August 1991.


Grinnell College, Iowa:
        Addresses at Grinnell College are of the following format:

        username@nodename       e.g., POSTMASTER@GRIN1.bitnet
                                  or  POSTMASTER@GRIN2.bitnet

        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.

Hampshire College (Amherst, MA):
        username@hamp.hampshire.edu, where username is of the form fllllll

Haverford:
        Students: acc.haverford.edu

Harvard:
        Undergrads: @husc.harvard.edu, @husc9.uucp
        Also try: husc{2,3,4,6,7,8,9,11}, harvard.harvard.edu.
        Username is lastname, with a number appended in case of duplicates.
        During Summer '90, Harvard moved most undergrad and grad
        accounts to husc9 instead of husc4.

        Harvard now has a mail server, so fingering at
        husc.harvard.edu seems to work.

        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 at this time
        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:
        Undergrads: flastname@hmcvax.claremont.edu or
            flllllll@jarthur.claremont.edu; in case of name conflicts
            more letters of firstname are used.   hmcvax is more
            likely for class of '94 and before; jarthur for '95 and up.
        CS faculty: lastname@jarthur.claremont.edu
        Other faculty: lastname@hmcvax.claremont.edu
        Administration: flastname@hmcadm.claremont.edu
        finger fullname@jarthur.claremont.edu usually works, but users
            can change their fullnames to anything

Indiana University:

        Faculty, Staff, Students: username@ucs.indiana.edu
        Usernames are portions of the person's real name. 8 characters,

        The email address of any student, faculty, or staff member at Indiana
        can be found out by doing a
                "finger lastname@indiana.edu" or
                "whois -h indiana.edu lastname" or
                "whois -h iugate.ucs.indiana.edu lastname"
        Type "finger help@indiana.edu" or "whois -h indiana.edu help" for
        more information about the service.

Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM):

                  Userids begin with BL plus the id number of the
                  student, i.e., bl205102.

        Every student can ask for an account on the vax machine. There
        are other computing facilities as well.

        All are on bitnet.

        The default userid is of the form lllll_fm or llllll_f. However,
        students may choose whatever userid they wish, which can be just
        about anything.

                              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 look up).

    eece.ksu.edu          EE grads and faculty.
    depot.cis.ksu.edu     CS grads, faculty, and staff.
    harris.cis.ksu.edu    CS undergrads.
        (phobos, deimos, and ksuvax1 are going away soon.)
    math.ksu.edu          Math staff, faculty, grads, and some undergrads.

Kenyon College:
        username@kenyon.edu
        Username is usually the last name, sometimes with initials
        tacked onto the end.

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.


Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge):
        CS: csvax.csc.lsu.edu
        EE: max.ee.lsu.edu
        SNCC (S/m Network Comp Center): lsu500.sncc.lsu.edu

Macalester College (Saint Paul):

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


McGill University:

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


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

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

Merrimack College: (inquiries to 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

Millsaps College:
        All faculty, staff, and students are userid@okra01.millsaps.edu.
        Userid is produced from first five letters of last name, first two
        initials - merged without spaces.  In case of no middle initial,
        nothing is used.  In case of name conflicts, numbers are added to
        the end to produce unique userid's.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT):
        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.)

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

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

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

        MITVMA.MIT.EDU is the gateway to bitnet.

Michigan State Univ.:
        @frith.egr.msu.edu @eecae.ee.msu.edu, @kira.ee.msu.edu
        @cpsin.cps.msu.edu @cpsvax.cps.msu.edu
        All college of Engineering students and faculty (includes CPS
        students) that have requested an account will have the address:
                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:
        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.

Minnesota State University System:
        Faculty (all campuses): userid@msus1.bitnet
        Faculty/Students (Mankato State Univ.): userid@vax1.mankato.msus.edu

Mississippi State univ.  Mail in the form fml#@ra.msstate.edu or
            fml#@isis.msstate.edu..  The Number will normally range
            1 and 4, it stands for the student number (First one with
            given set of initials to apply for internet access)

Mount Holyoke College:
        "mhc." may be omitted:
                a.  flllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu
                b.  fmllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu
                c.  llllllll@mhc.mtholyoke.edu

Mount Royal:
        mtroyal.ab.ca
        Student's userids are of the form llllll#### where # are the
        first four digits of the student id. Staff userids are of the
        form flastname.

Entries beginning with N may be found in the next posting
(file .../college-email/faq2.text via anonymous FTP).

This is the second third of the summary of how to find email addresses
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at various
colleges and universities.

;;; ********************************
;;; Email Database: N-T, U to Univ of
;;; ********************************


New Jersey Institute of Technology:
        Newark NJ 07021
        CS PhD Studs: user@newark.njit.edu
        Grad Studs:   user@hertz.njit.edu (ultrix), user@tesla.njit.edu (vms)

New Mexico State Univ.:
        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.)

North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC:
        Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger
        All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.

Northeastern:
        The engineering postmaster is postmaster@nueng.coe.northeastern.edu.
        For other mail, try postmaster@northeastern.edu

Northwestern:
        Undergrads: formerly nuacc.acns.nwu.edu (nuacc.bitnet).
        Username is lastname.
        Campus mail is being moved over to casbah.acns.nwu.edu, and
        all new accounts will be created on this machine. Mail sent to
        Firstname_Lastname@nwu.edu should reach the person if they
        have an account. You can also telnet to casbah [129.105.113.52],
        logging in as "ph" and use "query NAME" to find out information
        about NAME.
        Tech grad students: username@eecs.nwu.edu

Norwegian Institute of Technology:

        Students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology can be reached at
        @solan.unit.no, @siri.unit.no, @lise.unit.no.  Students usually have
        access to three different computer rooms with email machines - solan,
        siri and lise, of which solan is by far the more popular because of
        its convenient physical location on the campus.  Email sent to one
        room will not be available on another, so someone logging in on solan
        will not learn about new mail on lise or siri - UNLESS (s)he has set
        up his accounts on lise and siri to forward all mail to solan.  Most
        people probably don't know they can do this.

        The Norwegian Institute of Technology, aka NTH (Norges Tekniske
        Hoegskole) is part of the University of Trondheim (UNIT, which is in
        the domain name), but I believe NTH is the only part of the university
        with email access.  All students at NTH have the right to open an
        account on the the email machines, which are Unix based and are on the
        Internet, 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 (as in
        my case, because I have very common first and last names) MMMMMMMM.
        F=first name, M=middle name, L=last name.  The login name is maximum
        eight characters.  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.

NCSU:
        Faculty/Staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming
        convention for faculty accounts.

        Graduate Students: accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu. login names are
        gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the
        person first or last name will also work.

        All engineers have accounts on eos.ncsu.edu

        Most undergraduate id's are fmllllll@eos.ncsu.edu

        College of textiles comp. center: fmllllll@unity.ncsu.edu


Oberlin:
        Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvax{a,b}, which
        can be reached as oberlin.bitnet and ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu.
        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@oberlin.bitnet

        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:
        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). "whois -h osu.edu" and telneting to osu.edu should
        also work.

Ohio University (Athens OH):
        CS (UNIX): fllll@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
        CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu
        EE (grad students): fllll@bobcat.ent.ohiou.edu, @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu
        Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET
        Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET

Oklahoma State/Stillwater:
        userid@rsc.ceat.okstate.edu

Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology:
        Only Graduate Students. Their host, ogccse, is @cse.ogc.edu.
        This recently changed to cse.ogi.edu.

Oregon State:
        CS: mist.cs.orst.edu, prism.cs.orst.edu

Penn State Univ.:
        Undergrads: psuvm.psu.edu (psuvm.bitnet)
        Engineering Computer Lab: @psuhcx.psu.edu
        Most of the Engineering Computer Lab accounts are on the VAXCluster
        PSUECL.bitnet (or ecl.psu.edu).

        PSUVM doesn't support finger, but they do have a Bitnet server
        that will return a username for a given name (or vice versa). To use,
        send an interactive message HELP to IDSERVER@PSUVM

        psuvax1.bitnet (dba psuvax1.cs.psu.edu, psuvax1.uucp) is their
        bitnet<-->uucp gateway.

        The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other
        things, the entire student, staff, and faculty directory.

        To use EBB, one connects to psuvm.psu.edu from an
        Internet-connected site using tn3270.  After the initial logon
        screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen will clear.
        Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and the user will be presented with
        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.

Polytechnic University (New York)
        This is a listing for Brooklyn and Farmingdale Campuses
        Code    System Name             Comments

                W = At login: prompt typing in 'who' will list parties logged on
        All system names end with ".poly.edu", e.g.  'finger @Poly-TS.poly.edu'
        Most login names begin with first initial then first seven character
          of last name.  Most undergrad users would be on george, gracie,
          ishara, tasha and worf systems.

Pomona College (Claremont, CA):
        Internet: fllllll@pomona.claremont.edu (bitnet flllll@pomona.bitnet)

        Usernames are the first character of the first name, followed
        by the full last name (John Doe would be JDOE).  In case of conflicts,
        the middle initial is used between first and last name. (If JDOE
        already has an account, James A. Doe would be JADOE).  Finger works.


Portland State University (Portland, Oregon):
        Students: odin.cc.pdx.edu

Princeton:
        Undergrads: phoenix.princeton.edu, pucc.princeton.edu (VM)
        pucc.bitnet. (Both phoenix and pucc are now fingerable.)
        CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu
        CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu
        Math Dept: math.princeton.edu

        You can also try fingering at princeton.edu.

        Some people also have accounts on gauguin.princeton.edu

        Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL.

Purdue:
        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
        mentor  = most other CS courses

        Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
        one of these three machines, since there are many smaller groups
        to which accounts are issued.

        Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC
        machines, but mace, boiler, and j 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. 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

Reed College:
        username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll

Rice:

        Mail may be sent to <username>@rice.edu. Note that you can't
        finger this machine. Rice students now have off-campus
        electronic access (email, netnews), so long as it is for
        educational purposes only.

        Owlnet accounts are provided for undergraduate and graduate engineers.
        Non-engineers are given accounts when needed for a class, and then
        the accounts are deleted after the class is over. A general address
        for these accounts is @owlnet.rice.edu.

        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 fllll00, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu.

   Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a
   user. Department machines are generally for MS/PhD graduate
   students, faculty, and staff. The OWLNET machines are used for
   classes. (Thus the user population on OWLNET machines consists
   primarily of undergraduates and graduate students in
   professional degree plans such as Master of Computer Science.)

   NOTE: all the names given should have ".rice.edu" appended to them.

Stanford:
        Undergrads: Most students have accounts on leland.stanford.edu
        Some students have accounts on popserver, which is dedicated
        to email. Their usernames can be fingered at angelo.stanford.edu.
        Your best bet is to finger using the person's last name, as
        students may choose any username. (Leland is not fingerable.)

        [The following service has not yet been implemented at
         Stanford, as of 10-23-91. --mark
                You can also try fingering fmllllll@stanford.edu. This uses
                the whois server on argus.stanford.edu. (Also try flllll or
                llllll, depending on how common the name is.) This info isn't
                updated as often as it should be; students (including
                undergrads) can update their own email addresses, but few know
                how to or care. ]

        To use finger service at Stanford, you must already know a person's
        e-mail address.  To find out someone's e-mail address, use whois
        service.  Issue the command

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:   lname@stolaf.edu
        Last name conflicts are usually resolved by adding first
        and/or middle initials to the end of the last name.

        Try fingering Lname@stolaf.edu (note the capital letter).

        Try using the St. Olaf Gopher information server at gopher.stolaf.edu.
        Phonebook information can be found under "St. Olaf Information".

        Try sending email to postmaster@stolaf.edu describing the

        Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu

            isn't used.

SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY)

        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: bXNNNNN@HOSTNAME.cc.binghamton.edu 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), bingvaxu (Unix), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb
                (IBM), or bingtjw (IBM).  Older userids are of the
                form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, vuNNNN@bingvaxu, and
                bgNNNN@bingvmb.

        Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa,
        though those in Math/CS classes will have accounts on
        bingsuns.

        An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available;
        telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu

SUNY/Buffalo:
        Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu [finger not possible]
                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): username@acsu.buffalo.edu

        ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there.
        Recently, however, more people are getting accounts on acsu,
        the Unix system.

        Engineering Students: username@eng.buffalo.edu
        EE Students: username@beatrix.eng.buffalo.edu
        CS Dept: username@cs.buffalo.edu (username@sunybcs.bitnet)

        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/Stony Brook:

Syracuse Univ.:
        CompSci Grads/Faculty: top.cis.syr.edu
           Many CompSci graduates and faculty have accounts on this
           machine; the usual username pattern is "lastname@top.cis.syr.edu"
        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 name@syr.edu" 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 (NSERVE@SUVM.BITNET), 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 (315) 443-1870 is campus
          information;  if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people
          there will be happy to give it out.
        consult@mailbox.syr.edu  -- 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.

Swarthmore:
        All Students/Faculty/Staff: FLLLLLLN@cc.swarthmore.edu, 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.

        CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu

        [The following is the old info, which still holds for some people:
         All Students: xxxYY@swat.swarthmore.edu, where xxx is the
                student's initials, YY the year of graduation.
                In case of duplicates, extra "x" are added between
                the initials and year. If there are triplicates, they
                keep on adding x's. You can also use
                campus.swarthmore.edu (swarthmr.bitnet). If they have
                no middle name, use "_" instead of the middle initial.
                To find people, send mail to postmaster.
         Faculty and staff have usernames as their last names on
         campus.swarthmore.edu.]

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,

                General VM/CMS:         tamvm1.tamu.edu

        Finding addresses:
                Try fingering lastname@tamsun.tamu.edu or lastname@tamu.edu.
                (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):
        Students: VAX1.TRINCOLL.EDU (trincc.vax.bitnet)
        Ths is a VMS machine, but it supports finger.

Tufts University:
        tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet

Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.dk

Univ. of Akron:

        Academic Machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad
                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 r2sk9@vax1.cc.uakron.edu...

        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.

Univ. of Alabama at Huntsville:

        Domain:  uah.edu
                 asn.net (asnuah.asn.net)

        School of Engineering: xxx..x@ebs330.eb.uah.edu
        CS dept : xxx..x@uahcs2.cs.uah.edu
        Math dept: xxx.x@sun3.math.uah.edu
        Grad std/Research : xxx.x@asnuah.asn.net

Univ. of Alabama at Tuscaloosa:

        Domain: ua.edu
        College of Engineering: flastname@buster.eng.ua.edu
        Seebeck Computing Center: flllllln@ua1vm.ua.edu, where n is 1 for
                an undergraduate, 3 for a graduate student, and black for
                faculty/staff
        Others: cs.ua.edu, asncray.asc.edu etc.
        Help: postmaster@ua1vm.ua.edu

Univ. of Arizona:

        Undergraduates are not routinely given computer accounts.  If an
        undergrad has an account, it is almost certainly a single-semester one
        on the cluster ccit.arizona.edu for a specific class.  The username is
        in the format:

                        Lxxxxyyyy
        L= first letter of last name
        xxxx = last four digits of student ID number (usually SSN)
        yyyy = last four digits of course sequence number

        This cluster is also known as "violet" and "skyblu", depending on who
        you talk to.  These are actually nodes in the larger cluster.

        Ccit.arizona.edu serves all those who don't have their own computers,
        which is almost everyone.  If you're looking for someone who's an
        undergrad, send polite mail to postmaster@ccit.arizona.edu.  You MUST
        know their first and last names, the college they're in, and whether
        they're a grad or undergrad.  They forward that message to the
        customer accounts office, which calls the user, and asks if it's ok to
        give out their username.  So using the phone is better.

        Many faculty and staff are also 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; ask root.
        Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; ask
        system@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 (i.e.,
        RReagan) @mis.arizona.edu with very good success.

        Arizona.EDU is the campus mail gateway, but only those who ask get
        aliases on Arizona.EDU.  You could try last-name@Arizona.EDU if you
        suspect the person you want uses EMAIL a lot.  However,
        postmaster@Arizona.EDU is an unusually helpful person, and extremely
        polite mail sent to him may result in an answer.

Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP

University of Calgary
        General (Students/Faculty): @acs.ucalgary.ca
        CS students/faculty: @cpsc.ucalgary.ca
        for all faculty,  staff,  grads,  undergrads
        - often last name, or first name, or initials. or last name
        followed by initials.

Univ. of California/Berkeley: Many different accounts on many machines.
        Undergraduates in General: ocf.berkeley.edu
        Faculty, staff, and graduate students can also get accounts on
        ocf.berkeley.edu.

        Undergrad CS/EE, 1st Year Grad: cory.berkeley.edu (This is for
        undergrad juniors and seniors and first year graduate
        students. Most other graduate students have their own
        workstations. For freshmen and sophomores, one must look for a
        class account or ocf public cluster. Undergrads now have to
        pay for accounts on cory, so fewer people will be using it.)
        First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.berkeley.edu or
        xcssun.berkeley.edu. antipodes.berkeley.edu

        CS Faculty, Grads, Staff: cs.berkeley.edu (aliases mail address)
        CS Grad Students: snake.cs.berkeley.edu
                Good systems to try are (all .cs.berkeley.edu
                or .berkeley.edu) sprite, harmony, sequoia, larch,
                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

        Janus will be going away soon, as will ucbarpa.  Many csgrads will
        have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which will eventually support
        finger.  Systems to try for grad students are (all .berkeley.edu):
        sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger.
        Soon, these will be moved into the cs.berkeley.edu subdomain instead
        of berkeley.edu subdomain (ie, you'd finger @sprite.cs.berkeley.edu).
        This will happen soon, but hasn't happened yet.

        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.
        zooey, buddy, franny, and seymour too, except they're being
        retired. Danube, amazon, congo, po, and volga and a cluster of stars
        (named after stars) are supposed to be the replacements.
        web and buddy hold classes that freshmen and sophomores often take.
        seymour and franny are often used for classes 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 the anthropology department).  Account names are
        193xxx, where xxx is the last name of the user.

        Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu
        Stat Department: stat.berkeley.edu
        Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu
        Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu
        Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu
        School of Education:  soe.berkeley.edu
        Other machines to try: ucbvax.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, 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.

        Some of the class accounts are also on congo. Generally
        addresses for the first semester classes are:
        CS 60A - c60a-__@danube
        CS 3 - c3-1a__@amazon or c3-1b__@congo

        postmaster@nettlesome.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last
        choice when looking from someone electronically.

Univ. of California/Davis:
        @ucdavis.edu -- works if you know their account name
           userids are of the form fmlllll.
        @clover.ucdavis.edu -- works for anyone in the CS department
                whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>
        CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu
        Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu
                        or First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu

Univ. of California/Irvine:
        CS Undergrads: bonnie.ics.uci.edu
            Mail sometimes restricted; policy has changed several times.
            Userid usually FLLLLLLL (8 char max); sometimes FFFFFFFL.
        CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu
            Faculty userids are usually their last names, sometimes
            initials, a few firstname only.  Grads usually FLLLLLLL,
            some lastname only.  Staff sometimes firstname, sometimes lastname.
        Other departments: mostly grads; userids usually lastname.
           Biology dept: sanger.bio.uci.edu
           EE: balboa.eng.uci.edu
           Physics dept: skid.ps.uci.edu
           Social sciences: ss.uci.edu
        Try fingering fname-lname@XX.uci.edu (for XX=ics,sanger.bio, etc.)

        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.

Univ. 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).

Univ. 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.

Univ. 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 name@ucsd.edu".

        Most usernames are the initial of the first name followed by the
        last name, truncated to 8 characters, ie. "jfowler@ucsd.edu", 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).

        Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
        accounts.  Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.

Univ. of Chicago:
        Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)
          (midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines
          named quads.uchicago.edu and ellis.uchicago.edu. When midway
          refuses connections, finger at quad or ellis.)
        Grads and faculty may also be on quads and ellis.
        CS Grads: gargoyle.uchicago.edu
        Math: zaphod.uchicago.edu
        Education: paideia.uchicago.edu
        Chemistry: pico.uchicago.edu
        Astronomy: oddjob.uchicago.edu (finger lastname)
        Social sciences (Economics, History, Sociology, Political Science):
          cicero.spc.uchicago.edu [also accepts 'finger']
        Also Try: uchep.uchicago.edu

        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 finitial-lastname@uchicago.edu 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 advisor@midway.uchicago.edu.
          Unfortunately few people bother to input their e-mail addresses.

Univ. of Chile (Universidad de Chile) (in Santiago, Chile, South America):
        Mathematics and Physical Sciences (including engineering)
        cecux1.cec.uchile.cl, uchcecvm.bitnet
        All students that have a class involving computers get an account on
        cecux1.cec.uchile.cl
        Computer Science (Departamento Ciencia de la Computacion)
        dcc.uchile.cl, anakana.dcc.uchile.cl, uchdcc.dcc.uchile.cl
        Professors, Researchers, and grad students of Computer Science
        tortel.dcc.uchile.cl

Univ. of Colorado/Boulder:
        tramp.colorado.edu, colorado.edu.
        Telnet to directory.colorado.edu, using username "directory".
        This lets you access the online phonebook/email address book.

Univ. of Connecticut:
        uconn.edu
        userid@nicky.uconn.edu
        CS Undergrads: ug1.eng1.uconn.edu
        CS Grads and Faculty: cse1.cse.uconn.edu
        CS Research and Grads: sparc0.brc.uconn.edu

Entries beginning with Univ. of D may be found in the next posting
(file .../college-email/faq3.text via anonymous FTP).

This is the last third of the summary of how to find email addresses
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at various
colleges and universities.

;;; ********************************
;;; Email Database: U-Z ************
;;; ********************************

Univ. of Dayton (Ohio):
        School of Engineering: udecc.engr.udayton.edu
        CPS: udcps3.cps.udayton.edu
        General: udavxb.oca.udayton.edu

Univ. of Delaware:

      All undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty have
      accounts on the university system. 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 Illinois, Champ.:
        CS: mail to lastname@cs.uiuc.edu or flastname@cs.uiuc.edu
        should work.
        Campus: mail to f-lastname@uiuc.edu and firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu
        usually works.
        Student Accounts: uxa.cso.uiuc.edu  Every freshman gets an
        account on this machine. Usernames are usually the user's
        three initials, followed by five random characters.
        CS/Grad Stud Research: m.cs.uiuc.edu (Encore Multimax)
        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: are mostly on ux1.cso.uiuc.edu
                whois -h uiuc.edu <names>

        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.

        From BITNET, it is possible to get information about any student by
        executing the command 'TELL PHSERVE AT UIUCVMD firstname
        lastname RETURN ALL.'

        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

        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:

        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
        on eng.umd.edu. Finger using the lastname at these hosts.

        CS Faculty/Staff/Graduate Students: cs.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_lastname@umail.umd.edu.

Univ. of Massachusetts/Amherst:
        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".
        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:
        CS Grad StudsL: umn-cs.cs.umn.edu Username is same as the
        student's last name.

        Undergrads in technical majors will have temporary accounts on
        ux.acss.umn.edu, vx.acss.umn.edu, or ca.acss.umn.edu, for classes.

        Chemistry (faculty, staff, grads): lname@chemsun.chem.umn.edu
        The login is usually the person's last name, although there
        are some exceptions.

        Try fingering fname_mname_lname@umn.edu.

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 Nebraska at Omaha:
       Undergraduate Students and Faculty: zeus.unomaha.edu (unoma1.bitnet)
         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.

      Graduate Students and Faculty: odin.unomaha.edu
        Main campus Unix workstation (running DEC Ultrix)

        Any graduate student or senior undergrad pursuing an academic
        project can get an Odin account.

      Math/CS Students and Faculty: unocss.unomaha.edu (not fingerable)

      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 North Carolina at Chapel Hill:
        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 128.109.157.1
           login as info
           follow the menus to Campus Directory
        OR
           telnet to 128.109.157.150
           a couple of returns
           at '#' prompt type info
           follow menus to Campus Directory
        Medical School: students, staff, and faculty.
                finger name@boone.med.unc.edu
                finger name@winton.med.unc.edu
        (They alternate each incoming year between the 2 servers to
        parcel out disk space better, so fingering @med.unc.edu won't
        work. However, once you know the user id, send mail to
        user@med.unc.edu.)


Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte:
        userid@mosaic.uncc.edu
        Userids are of the form fmlastname.

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 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 Pennsylvania:
        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_firstinitial@a1.mscf.upenn.edu
                Medical students, biomed grad students, and some faculty
                have accounts on this system.

        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.

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 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 ...

        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:  fllllll@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 the Pacific:
        @madvax.uop.edu, @uop.uop.edu
        Usernames are a name and an initial (in any order) or just a
        name (i.e., Joe Smith could be jsmith, joes, or joe). Contact
        postmaster for help with finding someone.

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: gr.utah.edu
        CS Undergraduate Students: ug.utah.edu
        CS Department: cs.utah.edu is the cs department main machine,
                and knows about almost anybody that gr and ug know about.

        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

        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:
        More or less all students, faculty, and staff can have
        accounts that at least receive mail, but most people don't
        ever bother to get or use an account.  People in the School of
        Engineering are most likely to be accessible via e-mail.  The
        school's primary connections are Internet links to SURAnet
        (local NSF Regional network), but there is also a single
        BITNET link.  Almost any user can be located using the
        Internet standard whois program and the whois database that
        is kept on the system named: whois.virginia.edu
        You can also try fingering lname@virginia.edu.

Univ. of Washington, Seattle:
        CS Grads and Faculty: lastname@cs.washington.edu

        Most folks are on milton.u.washington.edu, which is the same as
        u.washington.edu. Usernames can be anything. Mail sent via
        u.washington.edu will 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 Western Ontario, London, Ontario:
        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 whohost.uwo.ca name
          eg. whois -h whohost.uwo.ca smith
          eg. whois -h whohost.uwo.ca j.smith
          eg. whois -h whohost.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.

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

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:
        Contact userserv@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu

Vassar:
        Students: FMLLLLLLLLLL@vaxsar.vassar.edu. (Every student is given
        a VAX account, but few actually use them.)
        Faculty: Faculty must request an account in order to get it,
        but most of those who have accounts use them. Faculty
        usernames are 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.

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 lllllllf (8 chars max);
                 can't finger on this VAX cluster though)


Virginia Tech:

        Computer Science students at Virginia Tech (aka VPI or VPI&SU for
        Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, normally just
        Virginia Tech, though) can be found at:

        EE: vtccts1.cc.vt.edu, eddie.ee.vt.edu
        CS: csugrad.cs.vt.edu

        Undergraduates: userid@csugrad.cs.vt.edu
        Graduate Students: userid@csgrad.cs.vt.edu
        Faculty: userid@vtopus.cs.vt.edu

        There is also the SSI Mail account. If a person has an SSI Mail
        account it will be: firstInitialLastName@vtssi.vt.edu. It is common
        for undergrad students (especially non-CS) to get an SSI Mail account
        rather than a CSU account because it doesn't cost any money.

Wake Forest University:
        llllllfm@wfunet.wfu.edu

Washington University, St. Louis MO:
        Undergrad Engineers: All have accounts on cec1.wustl.edu and
        cec2.wustl.edu (cec2.uucp). Usernames are composed of a person's first,
        middle, and last initials plus the last four digits of their
        social security number. Fingering from outside the university
        has been disabled, but try it anyway, since it sometimes seems
        to be enabled. Usernames for engineering faculty are just
        their three initials. (As of 17-NOV-91, userids are now 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 students have accounts on maria
        and wucs1. On these machines, the user chooses his/her own
        login name.)
        Other Undergrads: Try wugold.bitnet
        Also try: wucs1.wustl.edu, maria.wustl.edu

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.

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.

Wheaton College:
        UUCP: tellab5!wheaton!fmllllll

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:
        williams.bitnet. Username is YYFML (YY = year, F = first
        initial, M = middle initial, L = last initial). Some usernames
        have a _C postpended (YYFML_C).
        I believe this machine is vax.cc.williams.edu.
        Williams' postmaster will not give out user ids to outside
        requests.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute:
        @wpi.wpi.edu

Yale:
        Fingering name@directory.yale.edu will give you all Unix
        people's email addresses, as well as their phone numbers.

        Grad CS, Undergrad CS: lastname-firstname@cs.yale.edu
        (yalecs.bitnet)

        Undergrad Accounts (plus faculty & grad students in many
        non-CS Graduate School depts.): LLLFFFM@yalevm.ycc.yale.edu
        (or LLLFFFM@yalevm.bitnet). LLL is the first 3 letters of the
        last name, FFF is the first 3 letters of the first name, and
        M is the middle initial. Users can also request custom names.
        Mail queries can go to consult@yalevm.bitnet or
        postmaster@cs.yale.edu, as appropriate. Some non-CS undergrads
        can be reached at lastname@minerva.cs.yale.edu.

        Medical School: yalemed.bitnet

;;; ********************************
;;; 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.

They are:  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.
