- usually the last name plus maybe a few initials.
-
- Student/Staff VAX/VMS machines: (main nodes)
- gold.ucs.indiana.edu, aqua.ucs.indiana.edu,

- (UNIX) They're student machines.
- bronze.ucs.indiana.edu -- This is DEC RISC (Not a VAX)
- running Ultrix. Staff only...
- iuvax.cs.indiana.edu -- Unix, CS students ( mostly grad students
- and faculty )
-
- 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):
- Students: mtecv2.mty.itesm.mx (vax machine)
- academ01.mty.itesm.mx (RS/6000)
-
- 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.
-
- Iowa State University: fname_mi_lastname@iastate.edu
-
- Johns Hopkins:
- Accounts are located on
- jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu
- jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu
- jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu
- 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.
-
- Kalamazoo College:
- fllllll@kzoo.edu
-
- Kansas State Univ.:
-
- VM/XA
- ------------------------
- ksuvm.ksu.edu All students, faculty, and staff. This is by
- 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).
-
- Unix
- ----
- matt.ksu.ksu.edu All students and faculty.
- depot.cis.ksu.edu CS faculty, staff, and grads.

- Host hp800.lasalle.edu
- Faculty, Staff, and student staff: use last name, eg. jones (llllllll)
- Course accounts: xnnn0mmm or xnnnamm, where x is 1-letter course name
- (e.g. c for computer science), nnn is 3 digit course id, 0 or a is
- entered exactly as shown, and mmm or mm is the student's individual
- number within the course)
- Incoming finger (from the Internet) does not yet work.
-
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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:
- 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
- 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
- one of these machines, 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 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. 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.
-
- 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.
