- 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 Institute Of Mining And Technology:
- Try finger name@nmt.edu or finger name@jupiter.nmt.edu. Jupiter is
- the main server; CS students generally have accounts on
- minos.nmt.edu. Accounts generally seem to be of the form FLLLLLLL.
-
- 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.)
-
- New York University (NYU)
- Addresses for students at NYU are fml####@acfcluster.nyu.edu, where f,
- m, l are first, middle, last initials and #### are the last four
- digits of the social security number. All students and staff can get
- limited mail accounts by requesting them. Some users have nicknames:
- lastname, or lllllf, or lllllff.
-
- North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
- Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger.
- All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.
- 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
-
- North Dakota Network
- This section describes how to find email addresses for students who
- attend Public Colleges and Universities in North Dakota.
-
- ND HECN PLAINS (@plains.bitnet) -or- (@plains.nodak.edu)
- This is a Unix system. All userids are given out according to last
- name or possibly a first initial added in front. You are able to
- finger these accounts.
-
- ND HECN CMS (@ndsuvm1.bitnet) -or- (@vm1.nodak.edu)
- This is a VM/SP (CMS) system. Userids are a bit more complicated here...
- The ND HECN (No-Dak Higher Education Computer Network) consists of the
- following schools.. Their 2-letter school code follows.
- Bismarck State College (BJ) North Dakota State University (NU)
- University of North Dakota (UD) Dickinson State College (DS)
- Williston State College (WS) Bottineau State College (BT)
- Lake Region Community College (LR) Valley City State College (VC)
- Mayville State College (MV) Minot State College (MN)
- State School of Science (SS)
- Userids given out prior to (approximately) August 1991 are assigned a
- userid according to the following: Userids are in the form of
- LL######. LL is the "School Code" (see above). The #'s are the first
- 6 digits of the user's NAID number.
-
- Userids given out after August 1991 are assigned according to last
- name, or with part of their first name in front if the account is
- already taken. They are trying to give you the same userid as your
- plain's id (if you have one). Also, people with the 'old id' can
- request to have their account renamed to the new format. You are able
- to finger accounts on ndsuvm1, but as of 02-26-92 student names are
- not yet available to finger. (It will tell you if the account at least
- exists tho). Faculty/Staff names are available to finger. Each
- college has an 'administrative' account with the form LL0ADMIN. (LL =
- School Code). I don't know if they will give out userids, but it's
- worth a try.
-
- UND School of Medicine: try First.Last@medicine.und.nodak.edu for
- staff and faculty; no student accounts as of Fall 1992. For help
- finding someone, try 'finger' or contact
- postmaster@medicine.und.nodak.edu
-
- Northeastern: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
- Finger name@lynx.dac.northeastern.edu where <name> is a first-name,
- last-name, or username. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni
- can have accounts, but they have to be requested.
- Student usernames are usually flllllll, but many students pick there
- own variations. Many students never log in again once their class
- is through.
-
- Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA)
- You can use any of the following ways to locate people at Northern
- Arizona University. If one doesn't work, try the next. NOTE: not
- everyone at NAU has an electronic mailbox.
- 1. finger PERSON@info.nau.edu
- where PERSON is any part of a person's name that you know. You may
- have to use quotes, as in: finger "Jane Doe"@info.nau.edu. This is a
- "white pages" style database. For more help on this system: finger
- @info.nau.edu
- 2. mail FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@nau.edu
- where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are the person you're trying to reach.
- You may need to specify FIRSTNAME.MIDDLEINITIAL.LASTNAME
- 3. send mail to the site postmaster: mail postmaster@nau.edu
- Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. postmaster@cse.nau.edu for
- the Computer Science and Engineering department.
-
- Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
- Encore MultiMax (mp.cs.niu.edu). CSCI students may have accounts on
- this UNIX-based machine if their classes require it. Class accounts
- are of the form 'T90nnnn' where 'nnnn' is a randomly-assigned
- four-digit number. Undergraduate and graduate TA's may have
- accounts of the form 'T90fml1', where f=first initial, m=middle
- initial, and l=last initial. Substitute the letter 'X' for a
- missing middle initial. Older TA's may have an '8' or '9'
- substituted for the '1'. Students who work for Academic Computing
- Services, or are of a major other than CSCI, may also have accounts.
- Use 'finger' for more info.
- CSCI LAN (csci.niu.edu) All CSCI faculty members and some graduate
- students have accounts on this Novell LAN of the form 'T90fml1',
- same as above.
- Amdahl 5890 (vm.cso.niu.edu) CSCI students may have accounts on this
- mainframe running MVS and VM if their classes require it. Class
- accounts are of the form 'T90nnnn', same as above. All TA's have an
- account of the form 'T90fml1'.
-
- Northwestern: Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
- General e-mail services are shared by casbah.acns.nwu.edu and
- merle.acns.nwu.edu. Merle is in full production as of the beginning
- of 1993, although there are not yet that many accounts on it. This
- will change. Both Casbah and Merle support finger requests.
- If you have access to a PH electronic database client, you can use
- ns.nwu.edu for a ph-nameserver. Users must personally register an
- e-mail address in this database for a query to provide one -- it is
- not done automatically. If you do not have access to a PH client,
- the default PH-based address is <alias@nwu.edu> where the default
- alias is f-lastname (first initial-last name). Many people choose
- to remove the hyphen or replace the default alias with their
- initials, or just about anything else. The default is a good thing
- to try, because if it fails for any reason, PH responds with fairly
- complete information, in plain english, including other possible
- aliases, if there is a conflict.
-
- Norwegian Institute of Technology: see University of Trondheim
-
- Novosibirsk State Technical Univ.: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Russia, Novosibirsk 630092, K. Marx Prospekt 20
- Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@nstu.nsk.su is willing
- to be helpful in tracking usernames.
-
- Oakland University (Rochester, MI) Changed: Thu Mar 25 1993
- Hosts: vela.acs.oakland.edu, argo.acs.oakland.edu
- Many departments maintain their own systems but their users usually
- have accounts on either vela or argo as well.
- Userids: Students: FMlastname Faculty: Lastname
- Finger: on vela, use any portion of the name. On argo, you can only
- finger the userid.
-
-
- Oberlin (Oberlin, Ohio): Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
- Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvaxa, which can be
- reached as ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. Administrative staff members have
- accounts on ocvaxc, which can be reached as ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu.
- This is an internet-only site.
- Student User IDs are of the form: S+first & last initials + last 4
- digits of the student ID (e.g. SDG1234)
- Faculty IDs are of the form: F + lastname.
- Best bet is to send mail to postmaster@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu
- CS students/faculty: occs.cs.oberlin.edu (student usernames are mostly
- last names, occasionally with a first initial to disambiguate;
- faculty and staff are generally 3 initials).
- You can also send mail to postmaster.
-
- Ohio State University:
- 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
-
- Oxford University (Oxford, England): Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
- Telnet to info.ox.ac.uk, which presents you with an online information
- system, one of whose subsystems is an electronic mail directory
- showing all authorized users who are willing to be so listed.
- Host: vax.ox.ac.uk
-
- Penn State Univ.: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
- Domain: psu.edu
- The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other things, the
- entire student, staff, and faculty directory. To use EBB, connect
- to psuvm.psu.edu from an Internet-connected site using tn3270 (You
- can also telnet to cac3270.psu.edu if you do not have a 3270
- emulator, but will have to supply a terminal type). After the
- initial logon screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen
- will clear. Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and you will get the
- top-level EBB menu, one item of which is "DIRECTORY". Typing "dir"
- and RETURN will select the university directory. The rest should be
- obvious, but for a couple of other points: EBB assumes you're using
- an IBM terminal, and displays help in the form of PF keys to move
- around, etc. A simple "+" serves to scroll ahead, and "-" moves
- backward. Typing the RETURN key alone will back up one level of
- menus, so typing RETURN repeatedly will ultimately close the
- connection.
- Computer Science: cs.psu.edu (UNIX), crayola.cs.psu.edu (Ultrix)
- Math: math.psu.edu
-
- Pitzer College: Created: Sat Jul 3 1993
- finger flllllll@pitvax.claremont.edu
-
- Plymouth State College (Plymouth NH) Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Faculty & staff: firstname.lastname@plymouth.edu
- or flllllll@psc.plymouth.edu or fffffffffl@psc.plymouth.edu
- Students: finger firstname@oz.plymouth.edu or finger
- lastname@oz.plymouth.edu
-
- Polytechnic University (New York)
- This is a listing for Brooklyn and Farmingdale Campuses

- F W worf Brooklyn
- X wri
- Legend: F = Fingerable X = Nonfingerable
- 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: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
- 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.
-
- Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL
-
- Purdue: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
- At Purdue, engineering students (undergrad/grad) have accounts on
- machines on the Engineering Computer Network (ECN). There are
- hundreds of machines, but the main ones are named according to a
- fairly discernible system, i.e.
-
- e?.ecn.purdue.edu = Electrical c?.ecn.purdue.edu = Civil
- k?.ecn.purdue.edu = Chemical g?.ecn.purdue.edu = Nuclear/Aero
- m?.ecn.purdue.edu = Mechanical p?.ecn.purdue.edu = Potter Library
-
- In each case, "?" is one of 'a', 'b', 'c', etc..check your local host
- tables or nameserver for a current list. Undergrads usually end up on
- the 'n' series of machines... en, mn, cn, and gn.
-
- Effective 10/16/90, mail to ecn hosts need only be labeled with the
- local domain. For example, user@ecn.purdue.edu. Mail sent there will
- automatically be forwarded to the users mailbox.
-
- Usernames on ecn machines are assigned according to user preferences.
- Try the usual (initials, fllllll, first name, last name, etc.). You
- can send mail to ecn.purdue.edu (which will forward it to the
- appropriate machine). Also, if your finger supports arguments, doing a
- 'finger -l lastname' will find people by name regardless of account.
-
- Other students (CS, math/stat, and science majors) usually have
- accounts on machines operated by the Purdue University Computing
- Center (PUCC). These machines are all in the ".cc.purdue.edu"
- subdomain. Many usernames are based on the user's last name and
- initials, but many still use three letter/number combinations which
- have nothing to do with the user's name. Computing center staff
- usernames are either a name chosen by the user, or a three-letter
- combination beginning with "a". Additionally, "finger" with a name
- argument will find all people with that name, so try "finger -l
- lastname".
-
- Students are found on the 'instructional' machines; the
- distribution of major courses is approximately like this:
-
- expert = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
- sage = more low-level courses, first semester CS
- feserve = freshman engineering courses and some CS courses
- sonata = some Math and CS courses
- mentor = most other CS courses
-
- Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
- expert or sage, since there are many smaller groups to which accounts
- are issued. Also, any Purdue student may obtain a student personal
- account on one of these machines.
-
- Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC machines, but
- speedy, rapid, and swift are the most likely places to find them.
- Staff can always be reached through 'staff' regardless of where they
- have their accounts.
-
- In addition to those, there is an IBM mainframe which is found on the
- Internet as vm.cc.purdue.edu or on BITNET as PURCCVM. It is used
- primarily by research users and Computer Technology majors, and
- students taking statistics courses. Some student personal accounts
- are also on this machine Usernames are either based on the person's
- real name or Xyyy where yyy is a 3-character PUCC ID.
-
- Graduate CS students are found on machines in the ".cs.purdue.edu"
- subdomain, including "arthur", "mordred", "merlin", and other machines
- named after characters from the Arthurian legends. Mail to
- cs.purdue.edu usually works.
-
- Veterinary students are found on machines in the ".vet.purdue.edu"
- subdomain; these machines are named after animals or other vet terms
- e.g. "dog", "goat", "pharm"...Agricultural/Agronomy Engineering
- students are found on machines in the ".acn.purdue.edu" subdomain;
- these include "harvest", "barn", etc...Some folks in chemistry can be
- found on machines in the ".chem.purdue.edu" subdomain; many of these
- are named after items from the Dr. Who series, e.g. "doctor",
- "tardis", "k9"...Some folks in psychology can be found on machines in
- the ".psych.purdue.edu" subdomain; these machines are named after
- Latin/South American countries, e.g. "peru", "brazil", "mexico",
- "panama"...Some folks in biology can be found on machines in the
- ".bio.purdue.edu" subdomain; some of these machines are named after
- Tolkien characters, e.g. "bilbo", "gollum"...Some folks in physics can
- be found on machines in the ".physics.purdue.edu" subdomain; these
- machines are named after physicists, e.g. "maxwell", "newton"... The
- Krannert School of Management is in the .mgmt subdomain, with hosts
- zeus and hera. Most management students will be found on a PUCC
- machine.
-
- Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
- Faculty and staff: firstname.initial.lastname@queensu.ca.
- Unfortunately you have to spell the name exactly as in the Personnel
- records. This is an IBM mainframe machine with no Finger server.
- Computing and Information Science: finger x@qucis.queensu.ca, where x
- is lastname or firstname.
-
- Reed College:
- username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll
-
- Rice University (Houston, TX) Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
- Finger username@rice.edu, where name is firstname or lastname. This
- is an online copy of the campus directory, giving surface address
- and phone number (not e-mail address). Telephoning people is an
- excellent and efficient way to find their e-mail addresses.
- All students may request Owlnet accounts; try finger
- name@owlnet.rice.edu (GNU finger daemon).
- All students are given accounts on the rice mainframe computer, though
- off-campus access is still restricted for these accounts unless given
- permission. The address is @ricevm1.rice.edu and userid's are of the
- form fllllnn, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. Finger
- name@ricevm1 works for some accounts but a negative response from it
- is not definitive
- Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user.
- Try department machines frst for faculty, staff, and grad students,
- and Owlnet first for undergrads. Append ".rice.edu" to these names.

- but finger @rpi.edu doesn't yield any login information.
-
- Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT):
- ritvax.bitnet
- aaaXXXX@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, where aaa is users initials, XXXX is last 4
- digits of Social Security Number (SSN)
- Computer Science: aaaXXXX@cs.rit.edu. Sometimes anaXXXX where
- n appears literally and means "no middle initial". Profs'
- accounts omit the XXXX.
- Rumour has it that some UNIX accounts on other machines within
- the rit.edu domain use just last 4 digits of SSN, but recent
- correspondents from RIT don't know of any such machines.
-
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology: Terre Haute, IN
- There are three major systems on which students are given accounts:
- - Academic VAXcluster: rosevc.rose-hulman.edu
- All students have accounts.
- - NeXT workstation network: nextwork.rose-hulman.edu
- All students have accounts.
- - CS department network: cs.rose-hulman.edu
- Any student can get an account upon request.
- Student usernames are consistent across the systems, in the form
- llllllfm. Mail addresses of the form: first.m.last@rose-hulman.edu
- are also accepted; mail is directed to a preferred address.
-
-
- Rowan College of New Jersey: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
- (formerly Glassboro State College, renamed in 1993)
-
- 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@rowan.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.
-
- heroes.rowan.edu administrative departments, secretaries, some
- faculty
- saturn.rowan.edu Academic Computing, students, some faculty
- elan.rowan.edu all School of Business faculty, students
- irp.rowan.edu Institutional Research and Planning
- gboro.rowan.edu Computer Science faculty, students
-
- There is no on-line catalog of student e-mail addresses. If you send a
- message to postmaster@rowan.edu you should get back the address (if
- there is one) by the next business day.
-
- Rutgers: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
- Rutgers has a whitepages server, so you can do:
- whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname"
- to find email addresses. If the user has an email address it will
- explicitly indicate "Email:". The "Userid" field is *NOT* an email
- address. Not everyone with an email address has put it in the
- directory.
- Other ways to find email addresses at Rutgers: There are many
- departmental machines, but these are a few common ones. Usernames
- are usually "llllllll" but some are "fllllll" etc.
- General Student: trident.usacs.rutgers.edu (New Bruns. undergrad (*)),
- andromeda.rutgers.edu (Newark undergrad--all students),
- draco.rutgers.edu (Newark grad--all students), clam.rutgers.edu
- (Camden undergrad)
- (*) not all New Bruns undergrads have accounts
- CS: remus.rutgers.edu (undergrad), paul.rutgers.edu (grad),

- hardees.rutgers.edu, gandalf.rutgers.edu
- Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu
- McCormick Hall residents: dorm.rutgers.edu
-
- There is a machine, pilot.njin.net, which is available to any
- Faculty/Staff member at any New Jersey college by request. As such,
- using finger lastname@pilot.njin.net may be useful in finding
- someone at any of the non-Rutgers colleges in NJ.
-
- Saint Anselm College:
- Students, Faculty, Staff: anselm!username@dartmouth.edu
- Usernames are of the form flllllll, where f is the first letter of the
- first name and lllllll are the first seven letters of the last name.
- If a last name has less than 7 letters, the entire last name is used.
-
- Saint Anselm College is a UUCP client of dartvax, the Dartmouth
- College system. All news and email is fed via a data transmission
- made twice daily (1am and 1pm).
-
- San Diego State University:
- Faculty and Staff: flastname@sciences.sdsu.edu where f is the
- first initial followed by the last name.
-
- To access the campus phone directory:
- (1) whois -h sciences.sdsu.edu name

- San Francisco State University: Created: Tue Apr 6 1993
- Domain: sfsu.edu
-
- Santa Clara University:
-
- Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may
- be reached as FLLLLLLL@scuacc.scu.edu, where FLLLLLLLL is the first
- initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n
- characters of the last name).
-
- The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1.
-
- You might want to contact the postmaster there for further
- information. The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center is
- 408/554-4082
-
- Scripps College (Claremont, CA): Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993
- Finger flllllll@grover.claremont.edu.
- Mail to: flast@scripps.claremont.edu (Novell network)
- Finger at: charon.claremont.edu (Charon mail server)
- Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and
- crashes regularly).
-
- Seattle University:
- Everybody (students and faculty) are on the same machine,
- @seattleu.edu
-
- Seattle Pacific University Created: Fri Oct 8 1993
- @spu.edu
-
- Simon Fraser University: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
- All students, staff and faculty have accounts on the campus computing
- network (CCN). The domain name is @sfu.ca. User information is
- available through an X.500 directory service, which can be accessed
- via the finger program: finger f_l@whistler.sfu.ca, where f is the
- first name and l is the last name.
- Computing Science and allied units also maintain a separate subdomain
- cs.sfu.ca (Centre for Systems Science). Users generally have the
- same accounts on this domain as they do on the CCN.
-
- Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866 (518) 584-5000
- Internet domain name: skidmore.edu
- Bitnet node name: skidmore
-
- All e-mail is collected by scott.skidmore.edu (141.222.1.4)
-
- Usernames normally take the form first initial and first seven
- characters of the last name. You can also employ "fname.lname",
- giving the complete first and last names separated by a dot.
-
- Contact LDG@SCOTT.SKIDMORE.EDU for any delivery problems or other
- questions about the College.
-
- Smith College (Northampton, MA): Changed: Sun Mar 20 1994
- Usernames are flllllll (or fmllllll to prevent duplicate names).
- Most accounts are on VMS at smith.smith.edu. Some, mostly computer
- science, are on UNIX at sophia.smith.edu, where fingering works (but
- talk has been disabled).
-
- Sonoma State University: fname.lname@sonoma.edu
-
- Southwest Texas State University:
-
- cs and math faculty or grad students: @swtexas.bitnet
- (most user IDs are cs_lastname or ma_lastname)
-
- Stanford: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
- Stanford has implemented a finger service for its whois database. Try
- "finger name@stanford.edu" first -- most students and lots of staff
- and faculty now have their e-mail addresses registered with this
- service. Name can be lastname, or for better results flllll or
- fmllllll.
-
- Alternatively, this service can be accessed via whois:
-
- whois -h stanford.edu name
-
- If that doesn't work, most students (and lots of staff and faculty)
- have accounts on leland.stanford.edu. The finger daemon on leland
- was turned off by December 1992; try its various clients: elaine0
- through elaine53(.stanford.edu)
-
- A couple of other machines to try:
-
- CS (Grad and undergrad): xenon.stanford.edu
- Geology/Earth sciences: pangea.stanford.edu
- EE: sierra.stanford.edu
- Psychology: psych.stanford.edu
-
- St. John's University (Collegeville, MN): Changed: Tue Jan 4 1994
- College of St. Benedict (St. Joseph, MN)
- Students: fmllllllllll@csbsju.edu
- Faculty: flllllllllll@csbsju.edu
-
- 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
- person you're trying to contact.
-
- CSO phone book server at cso.stolaf.edu.
-
- Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ, USA) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
- Send mail to username@SITVAX.STEVENS-TECH.EDU, where username is of
- the form "first initial lastname" truncated to 8 characters, with a
- uniqueness number. For example, John Smith would have the username
- JSMITH, but Jane Smith (who's account was added after John's) would
- have JSMITH1.
-
- We hope to add a Campus Information Server in Fall'93 to make it
- easier to find people. This record will be updated when that occurs.
-
- SUNY/Albany: Created: Mon Aug 23 1993
- Students: flnnnn@albnyvms.bitnet (VAX cluster) or @albnyvm1 (IBM
- system) where nnnn is last 4 digits of social security number.
-
- SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY)
- (SUNY College of Technology at Alfred)
- Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu
- (lastname, firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes
- isn't used.
-
- SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY) Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
- 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), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb (IBM), or bingtjw
- (IBM). Older userids are of the form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, and
- bgNNNN@bingvmb.
- Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa, though those
- in Math/CS classes will have accounts on bingsuns.
- An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available;
- telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu
- DIAL VTAM
- ELIXIR
- Choose from menu.
-
- 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/Canton
- students: llllllll@scanva.bitnet, also try @snycanva.bitnet
-
- SUNY/Geneseo
- students: fmlyy@geneseo.bitnet .. yy is graduation year
- I dont know about faculty, it might be on @snygenva.bitnet.
-
- SUNY/Potsdam
- students: llllllss@snypotvb.bitnet .. where ss are last 2 digits of SS#
- faculty: llllllfm@snypotva.bitnet
-
- SUNY/Stony Brook:
- Undergraduates: flllllll@ccvm.sunysb.edu (sbccvm.bitnet)
- flllllll@ccmail.sunysb.edu (sbccmail.bitnet)
- (servers ccsinc.bitnet and ccnova.bitnet)
- flllllll@ic.sunysb.edu (servers are libserv1,
- csserv1, csserv2, eeserv1; can't finger).
- CS Folks: cs.sunysb.edu (cs is an alias to the host sbcs)
- You can also use the campus "white pages", whois -h sunysb.edu ...
- or try fingering at fllll@sunysb.edu
-
- 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: Changed: Tue Aug 3 1993
- Most 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.
- As of fall 1993: some students may be reached at
- lastname@sccs.swarthmore.edu
- Computing Centre staff: usually lastname@cc.swarthmore.edu
- CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu
- Engineering: usually lastname@engin.swarthmore.edu
-
- Tampere Univ. of Technology (Tampere, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
- Host: tut.fi. Finger available.
-
- Texas A&M University:
-
- All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous
- set of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than
- 30% of the student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The
- format of the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and ####
- is the last four digits of the SSN. If a student has no middle
- initial then '0' (Zero) is used. These domain is "tamu.edu" and the
- machine could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa,
- sigma, etc.
- General Unix: tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu,
- tamsun.tamu.edu
- General VAX/VMS: zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu,
- summa.tamu.edu, sigma.tamu.edu,
- rigel.tamu.edu
- General VM/CMS: tamvm1.tamu.edu
-
- Finding addresses:
- Try fingering 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, staff, and faculty: firstname.lastname@mail.trincoll.edu
- mail.trincoll.edu is currently equivalent to trincoll.edu
-
- Tufts University:
- tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet
-
- United States Air Force Academy
- Cadets: CDTnnnn@saturn.usafa.af.mil
- Computer science: host kirk.usafa.af.mil
- Finger works at both sites.
-
- Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.dk
-
- Univ. of Aarhus (Dennmark) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993
- Computer Science: @daimi.aau.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 Alaska Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
- Bitnet: username@alaska.bitnet Internet: username@acadO.alaska.edu
- Usernames are of the form CTFMLN where:
- C=Campus
- A is for U of A Anchorage
- B is for non-university related accounts (very rare)
- D is for Kodiak College
- F is for U of A Fairbanks
- G is for Tanana Valley
- I is for Kenai Peninsula College
- J is for U of A Southeast (in Juneau)
- K is for U of A Southeast (Ketchikan branch)
- L is for Bethel
- N is for Nome
- P is for Mat-Su College (in Palmer)
- S is for system-wide personnel and organizations
- T is for U of A Southeast (Sitka branch)
- V is for Prince William Sound Community College (in Valdez)
- Z is for Kotzebue
- T is for usage type.
- S is for an undergraduate student
- T is for a graduate student
- F is for faculty
- N is for staff
- X is for consultants
- Y is for administration and organizations.
- H is for temporary guest accounts
- R is for research
- FML is the initials of first, middle, and last names, respectively.
- N is a number, and is only given (and then it starts from one) if
- there are more than one person at the same school with the same
- status and initials
- O is the computer that the person is on.
- 1 is Southeast and affiliated schools
- 2 is Anchorage and its affiliates (Kodiak, Kenai, Mat-Su, and Prince
- William Sound)
- 3 is Fairbanks and affiliates
- However, a person with enough access can use other campus' computers.
-
- acad2 and acad3 (.alaska.edu) can be fingered (usernames only - VMS
- finger). Fingering these computers will not tell you the person's
- name.
- There are also other computers in the alaska.edu domain. SX accounts
- (computer system administrators and testing accounts) usually are on
- orca.alaska.edu and also on at least one of the acadO's. orca cannot
- be fingered.
- A student, faculty, or staff member can request an account on
- camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu, also. This computer can also be fingered.
- Other computers in alaska.edu may not use this username assignment,
- but orca.alaska.edu and camelot.acf-lab.alaska.edu do.
-
- Univ. of Arizona:
- Historically computer access at the UA had been limited to students,
- faculty and staff who had either a job, or a class which required a
- computer. Recently the Unix Users Group at the University of Arizona
- began providing General Access Systems for no charge to UA students.
-
- The machines are configured from donated, loaned and retired equipment
- and managed by volunteer effort. As a volunteer effort, there is not
- time to respond to postmaster requests for usernames so please do not
- send address requests to the postmaster. Use the finger utility
- instead; it will respond to "real name" requests (in the following
- "gas" means "gas.uug.arizona.edu"):
-
- finger -l kennedy@gas gotobed@gas |grep "Login name:"
- Login name: bjk In real life: Brian J. Kennedy
- Login name: kennedys In real life: Steven A Kennedy
- Login name: jgotobed In real life: Joe Gotobed
-
- While we are attempting to support a rational username policy, it is
- not foolproof as this example shows. If the finger info returns
- nothing, the person has no account on these systems.
-
- Due to limited disk capacity, ( < 1Mb per account) the usage is
- limited primarily to internet news, telnet, ftp and email. There are
- currently about 500 students and a capacity of about 3,000 accounts.
- While accounts are currently limited to students, we expect to provide
- access to the general staff & faculty sometime in the spring of 1993.
-
- There are nearly a hundred subdomains at the University, each with
- their own access policies, username assignments and email schemes. If
- the finger utility does not reveal the address of a friend, a phone
- call to them asking for their address is probably the most efficient
- way to discover it.
-
- Many faculty and staff are on ccit.arizona.edu. If someone tells you
- they are on "cosy" or "icosy," forget it; you can't send mail to them
- (although they can send mail to you).
-
- Undergrads in Computer Science are on caslon.cs.arizona.edu.
- Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; try
- evax2.engr.arizona.edu.
-
- Grad students and Faculty are usually given accounts on their
- department/college systems. Try math.arizona.edu;
- physics.arizona.edu; mis.arizona.edu; cs.arizona.edu, etc.
-
- In the School of Business, you can try FirstinitialLastname (e.g.
- RReagan) @bpa.arizona.edu with very good success. If
- FirstinitialLastname is ambiguous, a username might be
- LastnameFirstinitial instead. (Main site was mis.arizona.edu until
- late 1992). On BITNET send mail to username@arizbpa.bitnet
-
- 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.
-
- Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP
-
- Univ. of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
- Domain ubc.ca. Public accounts might be on unixg.ubc.ca.
- Computer Science is cs.ubc.ca
-
- Univ. 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: Changed: Mon Aug 23 1993
- Undergraduates in General: uclink.berkeley.edu or 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.) soda and ucsee are run by students (CS
- Undergrad Association and UC Society of EEs, respectively).
- 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 and staff, though, so these machines are
- the place to try for faculty affiliated with departments that have
- no real computing facilities. Almost anyone on campus can pay for an
- account on these machines.
- 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
- School administration has set up the computer uclink.berkeley.edu, for
- staff or students who want an account (they can keep it for the time
- that they are there). It's supposedly on a pilot program, but many
- students are getting accounts there. As of summer 1993 it is
- expanding rapidly to cover all faculty, staff, and students.
- Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
- 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.
- As of late fall 1992, the name space of cats and ucscb have been
- merged, so that almost all students have the same userid on both
- systems. However, there are (and will likely always be) separate
- accounts on the 2 systmes that use the same name - so there will
- remain differences between mailing to SomeAddress@cats and
- SomeAddress@ucscb.
-
- 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 Central Florida (Orlando)
- CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger
- lastname@eola.cs.ucf.edu
- Engineering: finger initials@apocalypse.engr.ucf.edu
- General: ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu. (A bitnet node, so you cannot finger)
-
- Univ. of Chicago: Changed: Thu Jul 1 1993
- Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)
- (midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines
- named quads, ellis, and kimbark (.uchicago.edu). When midway
- refuses connections, finger at one of the others.)
- Grads and faculty may also be on quads, ellis, or kimbark.
- 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 Campus (includes engineering)
- All students that ask for an account can get one on araucaria:
- araucaria.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP), uchcecvm.bitnet (IBM 390)
- All students that have a class involving computers get an account on:
- cipres.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP)
- Professors, researchers, and research assistents:
- tamarugo.cec.uchile.cl (Sun 690MP)
- Computer Science (Departamento Ciencia de la Computacion)
- All Computer Science students and professors have an account on:
- dcc.uchile.cl (Sun 4/470)
- Professors, researchers, and grad students of Computer Science
- tortel.dcc.uchile.cl (Sun SS II)
- For more information access the gopher server (using normal gopher
- access or telnet/rlogin with login name "gopher") on tortel.
-
- Univ. of Colorado/Boulder: Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993
- Finger name@colorado.edu, where name is lastname, firstname, or
- firstname-lastname. At the upper right of the directory information
- is a username and machine; their address is then
- username@machine.colorado.edu
- Telnet to directory.colorado.edu, using username "directory".
- This lets you access the online phonebook/email address book.
