Subject: NANET Whitepages  
This facility only works if everybody helps out.


FEATURES:
 
  1).  Querying the Database
       ---------------------
       To find out information about a person send mail to 
       "na.whois@na-net.ornl.gov".   In the message body specify 
       the first or lastname or both.  See Appendix B for an 
       example of a query. 


  2).  Joining the Whitepages 
       ----------------------
       To join the whitepages send mail to "na.join-whitepages@na-net.ornl.gov".   
       In the message body specify the two mandatory fields and as many of
       the optional fields as you want.  
        
       Mandatory
       ============
       Last_name:
       First_name:


       Optional Fields
       ===================
       Middle_name:
       Affiliation:
       Office_address:
       City_state_zip:
       Country:
       Office_phone:
       Research:
       Home_address:
       Home_phone:
       Fax:
       E_mail_address:
       Other:


       The fields can be specified in any order.  The subject line of your 
       message is ignored.  One or more spaces can separate the key words 
       from their actual values.  All fields are entered into the database as 
       characters.  So enter spaces for readability.  In the rare exception that 
       your first and last name combination is not unique, send mail to 
       "nanet@na-net.ornl.gov". We will manually insert your name into the database
       despite the duplication.  This should not cause any problems for people 
       querying the database for it is set up to return ALL people with a given 
       last name, first name, or combination.  A message will be sent back to you 
       confirming the operation was successful.  See Appendix B for an example of 
       joining the database.


  3).  Removing your entry
       ------------------- 
       To remove your entry from the NA-NET database send mail to 
       "na.remove-whitepages@na-net.ornl.gov".   In the message body specify the
       following two fields. 
       
       Last_name:
       First_name:

       The values can be specified in any order.  Again the subject line 
       of your message is ignored.  One or more spaces can separate the 
       key words from their actual values.  For security purpose, a confirmation 
       message will be sent to both the address requesting the removal, and also
       to the address listed in the whitepages database.  See Appendix B for an 
       example of removing your entry. 
       

  4).  Changing fields 
       -----------------------
       To change the value of a field or add to new field - send mail to 
       "na.change-whitepages@na-net.ornl.gov".  In the message body specify the 
       following two fields plus the fields to be added or changed. 

       Last_name:
       First_name:
       
       The values can be specified in any order.  Again the subject line 
       of your message is ignored.  One or more spaces can separate the 
       key words from their actual values.  A message will be sent back to
       you confirming the operation was successful.  See Appendix B for an 
       example on how to change or add a field.
