(part 4 of 5 parts) 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. 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 Univ. of Copenhagen (Dennmark): Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Computer Science: @ling.cphling.dk 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 Dortmund (Germany): Created: Mon Aug 23 1993 Students: firstname_lastname@ls<#chair>..uni-dortmund.de #chair faculty 1-12 informatik (= computer science) 1-?? mathematik 1-?? physik 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 Helsinki (Helsinki, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Hosts: klaava.helsinki.fi, plootu.helsinki.fi. Finger available. Univ. of Houston (Houston, Texas) Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 Host: cs.uh.edu.: All graduate students, staff, and faculty in the CS dept. have accounts on cs.uh.edu. Undergrads have accounts on either menudo.uh.edu (Unix) or jetson.uh.edu (VAX). Try "finger lastname@cs.uh.edu" for information on graduate students, staff, or faculty. Use "finger lastname@menudo.uh.edu" or "finger lastname@jetson.uh.edu" for undergrads. Anonymous ftp host: beethoven.cs.uh.edu (129.7.5.180) Undergraduate and graduate information can be found under pub/gradinfo. To request for information and/or application forms, send name and address to gradinfo@cs.uh.edu Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 In general, finger name@uiuc.edu, where name can be firstname, lastname, or firstname-lastname. Also try whois -h uiuc.edu CS: try mail to lastname@cs.uiuc.edu or flastname@cs.uiuc.edu Campus: try f-lastname@uiuc.edu and firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. It is usually possible to send mail to f-lastname@uiuc.edu or firstname-lastname@uiuc.edu. If that fails, you will get a message which tells you why the email could not be sent. Student Accounts: As of Fall 1992: ux4.cso.uicc.edu (those entering before then have accounts on uxa.cso.uiuc.edu) Every freshman gets an account on this machine. Usernames are usually flastname (old accounts were the user's three initials, followed by five random characters.) Math (Grads, Faculty, Staff): lastname@math.uiuc.edu Classes: ux1.cso.uiuc.edu, hendrix.ece.uiuc.edu (Purely instructional. 1 semester accounts on this machine.) Faculty: some are on on ux1.cso.uiuc.edu Engineering: coewl.cen.uiuc.edu; finger isn't supported. Electrical engineering faculty: ece.uiuc.edu From BITNET, it is possible to get information about any student by executing the command TELL PHSERVE AT UIUCVMD firstname lastname RETURN ALL. Univ. of Illinois/Chicago: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993 uic.edu (Most userids of the form Uxxxxx) For Staff and Faculty info, use 'finger lastname@uic.edu' or Gopher to uic.edu, and select "The Campus" menu entry, then "Phonebook". Use the e-mail alias for best response. Student Info: Not yet easily available. However, if you know the person's userid, you can 'finger U12345@uic.edu' which will give you stats on the account, if active. Engineering: Use 'finger name@bert.eecs.uic.edu' The PostMaster will NOT help you in finding people, as the only resources available are described above. Univ. of Iowa (Iowa City, IA): Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Finger name@uiowa.edu, or telnet to chop.isca.uiowa.edu and enter "go phone" to use the Uiowa phone book. Engineers - on the Apollo ring: fmlastname@icaen.uiowa.edu Others - @weeg.uiowa.edu Univ. of Joensuu (Joensuu, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Hosts: cc.joensuu.fi, joensuu.fi. Finger available. Univ. of Jyvaskyla (Jyvaskyla, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Hosts: tukki.jyu.fi, network.cc.jyu.fi. Finger with first or last name. Univ. of Kansas: Student Accounts: kuhub.cc.ukans.edu Most user ID's are their last names (first 6 letters). Univ. of Kentucky: The WHOIS server at UK maintains user databases for the following Kentucky universities: University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY University of Louisville, Louisville, KY Morehead State University, Morehead, KY Murray State University, Murray, KY Transylvania University, Lexington, KY Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY Eastern Kentucky University, Richmond, KY Northern Kentucky University, Highland Heights, KY SENDING COMMANDS TO WHOIS ========================= If you have BITNET access, you can query the WHOIS server interactively, using the TELL command. For instance: TELL WHOIS AT UKCC WHOIS FOOBLE or TELL WHOIS AT UKCC GUESS AT NKU BOOGLE If you don't have access to BITNET, you can query the WHOIS server via electronic mail. Send your email to whois@ukcc.uky.edu, and place your commands in the body (NOT the Subject line) of the message. The HELP command will send you back a full list of commands. Univ. of Kuopio (Kuopio, Finland): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 uku.fi UNLV: Student Accounts: redrock.nevada.edu uns-helios.nevada.edu is used by some students, but may be changing into a research machine. Univ. of Louisville: @ULKYVX.BITNET Univ. of Maine: Campus mainframe: username@maine.bitnet CS Faculty and Students: userid@gandalf.umcs.maine.edu Univ. of Maryland/College Park: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993 U.Md. has several campuses, but we currently have information only for the College Park campus. Employees (faculty and staff): Finger name@umail.umd.edu. Names are usually flnumber or firstname_MI_LASTNAME (e.g. dm17 or David_L_MATTHEWS) All students (grad and undergrad) may request an account on wam.umd.edu (Workstations At Maryland). All undergrads (and probably graduate students too) may request accounts on eng.umd.edu; most engineering graduate students have accounts there, but so do non-engineering studentss. Finger using the lastname at these hosts. CS Faculty/Staff/Graduate Students: cs.umd.edu; sometimes umiacs.umd.edu or cfar.umd.edu telnet umail.umd.edu and login as lookup for faculty/staff E-mail directory. Campus has universal faculty/staff E-mail on info.umd.edu (aka umail.umd.edu). Whois and finger do not work off campus for this computer, though. If you know the name, try firstname_mi_lastname@umail.umd.edu. Univ. of Massachusetts/Amherst: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Students/Faculty: first.{mi.}last@student.umass.edu (This is on the CDC Cyber NOS/VE system.) Another common format is first.{mi.}last@saturn.ucc.umass.edu. Saturn is the name of the computer. Many people, especially faculty, have a departmental abbreviation in place of "student" or "saturn.ucc". Another possible form is FML@titan.ucs.umass.edu Graduate CS students: cs.umass.edu Username is person's lastname. Intro CS courses: S#######@tethys.ucc.umass.edu, where ####### is a 7-digit student number. Engineering: {fi}lastname@ecs.umass.edu. Names defaults to last name, but may include the first initial if the last name is not unique. Student directory service: (413)-545-1515 for finding a phone number. Univ. of Massachusetts/Lowell: All CS students and University UNIX users are generally addressable as flllllll@cs.ulowell.edu. Adjustments are made for conflicts such as adding the middle initial after the first, or adding additional letters from the first name. Not all students automatically get accounts on the VMS system, but if they do they can be addressed as llllllf@woods.ulowell.edu. Finger works on this machine, but isn't very informative. If there is a name conflict, they will add letters from the first name or numeric digits (1, 2, etc.) until it is unique. Univ. of Miami Created: Mon Sep 6 1993 Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences: whois -h UMIGW.MIAMI.EDU name finger name@phone.rsmas.miami.edu 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 NAME to get finger information for NAME Univ. of Minnesota: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993 In general, try fingering fname.mname.lname@umn.edu. Fingering any reasonable fragment of the name should work. CS Grad students: @cs.umn.edu. General policy is "last name as account name, plus first and middle initials if that's not unique", but there *are* exceptions. Undergrads in technical majors will have temporary accounts on maroon.tc.umn.edu or vx.cis.umn.edu. The account names are serialized so aren't useful in finding out names. Recently (as of late 1992) most class accounts are on mermaid.micro.umn.edu, and are named. All Twin Cities campus students have e-mail on gold.tc.umn.edu, whether they know it or not. Chemistry (faculty, staff, grads): lname@chemsun.chem.umn.edu. The login is usually the person's last name. Statistics: umnstat.stat.umn.edu. Userid varies; use finger. Biochemistry & genetics: often molbio.cbs.umn.edu or lenti.med.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 Montreal: Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993 General: username@ere.umontreal.ca Usernames are typically last names (maximum = 8 letters). Univ. of Nebraska at Omaha: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993 Any currently enrolled UNO student and faculty and staff may obtain accounts on CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), host cwis.unomaha.edu The university no longer subscribes to Bitnet, only Internet. Undergraduate Students and Faculty: zeus.unomaha.edu Main academic VAX running VMS. All computer science students receive academic accounts of the form CCXXX where CC is a 2-character class code and XXX is a number from 000 (usually the instructor) up to 999 (usually smaller than 050 in practice). These accounts are reset each semester. Permanent accounts are also on Zeus, usually a last name or nickname. Permanent student accounts are of the form ZAXXX for unaffiliated students, or organizational forms like ACMXXX and IEEEXXX for members of their respective student organizations. Any undergraduate student who asks nicely can get a ZA account, or an organizational account if they are a member. UNO Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery: acm.unomaha.edu All members have accounts, usually some form of the name (not fingerable, this computer is also the former unocss.unomaha.edu in case you haven't guessed). Polite mail to postmaster@acm.unomaha.edu may yield information about an ACM member or math/CS student. Univ. of Nebraska at Lincoln: Engineering: engvms.unl.edu Computing Staff and some students: crcvms.unl.edu CS students: cse.unl.edu All students above the classification of sophomore have name accounts on cse.unl.edu (first initial appended to the last name) but you can also finger the machine. Univ. of New Brunswick: (Fredericton, NB, Canada) Computing Services: csd.unb.ca All students are automatically given MUSIC accounts on the VM service and can send and receive mail, however, there is at present no easy way to determine the MUSIC id knowing the name of the student. Depending on course requirements, students may also have accounts on the MVS or UNIX systems. Requests for non-student userids can be sent to our on-line directory server. Send mail to Directry@UNB.Ca, If the 1st non-blank line of the mail is Help or Find name, the name will be searched and the results mailed back to the address in the From: field of the mail. The server is bilingual (English/French) and will also respond to the commands Aide or Recherche name. MVS machine: unbmvs1.csd.UNB.ca VM machine: unbvm1.csd.UNB.ca UNIX machine: jupiter.sun.csd.UNB.ca (finger works) Univ. of New Hampshire: General university users: unhh.unh.edu (same as hilbert.unh.edu). User names, both student and staff, are generally of the form F_LAST where F is the person's first initial and LAST is the person's last name. CS class accounts and undergrad CS: kepler.unh.edu. User names are usually the person's initials (sometimes postfixed by a 3 digit course number for intro classes). Grad CS and Faculty: cs.unh.edu. With only a few exceptions, all logins are the person's initials. Univ. of New Mexico Try finger lastname@carina.unm.edu. User names are usually of the form FLLLLLLL (8 characters max). Accounts may be on many different hosts within unm.edu but the finger database on carina seems to know where all the accounts are. If carina is unavailable try vesta. Univ. of New Orleans Created: Tue Mar 30 1993 Faculty Accounts: fml@uni.edu Student Accounts: Initials followed by 2 letter name of department, e.g. fmlEE@uno.edu Class Accounts: Two letters signifying department that issued account, 6 numbers or letters signifying a unique id and then the four digits of the class e.g. EE_123tt2551 Univ. of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) Created: Thu Jul 1 1993 Faculty and staff: F.Lastname@UNSW.edu.au Students: Yxxxxxxx@UNSW.edu.au, where Y is U for undergrads and P for graduates/postgraduates, and xxxxxxx represents the student ID number Univ. of North Carolina at Asheville: Created: Mon Aug 23 1993 username@unca.edu Username is either the last name or the last name preceded by an initial. unca.edu runs VMS, so usernames aren't limited to 8 characters. Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Changed: Tue Apr 13 1993 General: Firstname_Lastname@unc.edu. In case of conflict try Firstname_M_Lastname@unc.edu. The UNC BBS is Firstname.Lastname@launchpad.unc.edu CS: All CS students get an account on the network of workstations. The login is usually just the first 8 characters of the student's last name. Name conflicts are usually resolved by appending the first initial and/or the middle initial to the last name. Mail may be sent to username@cs.unc.edu. You may finger both by userid and real name at cs.unc.edu. Faculty and Staff: One can get an email address from the online phonebook. telnet to info.oit.unc.edu login as info follow the menus to Campus Directory Medical School: students, staff, and faculty. Finger name@who.med.unc.edu OR send mail to request@med.unc.edu asking for the address. Once you find the login name, send mail to login@med.unc.edu Univ. of North Carolina at Charlotte: userid@mosaic.uncc.edu Userids are of the form fmlastname. Univ. of North Dakota: see North Dakota Network Univ. of North Florida CS undergrads, grads, faculty: flast@unf6.cis.unf.edu, where last may be limited to 6-8 characters. Information Science undergrads: unf1vm.cis.unf.edu. Unfortunately names are assigned randomly, so it's nearly impossible to guess unless you already have contact with someone. Others generally don't have accounts unless they ask for them. Univ. of Northern Iowa. Created: Tue Mar 30 1993 Finger username@uni.edu Univ. of Notre Dame: The University of Notre Dame now supports full name human readable e-mail addresses, such as John.Q.Student.1@nd.edu. All members of the Notre Dame community have e-mail addresses on nd.edu; however, at this time (June, 1992) the vast majority of them are "uninitialized". This means the user has not specifically told the server how to deliver e-mail to this user, so e-mail to this user will fail. All members of the Notre Dame community also have userids in our AFS file space. Userids in this file space tend to be of the form flllllll or flllllln. Some users who use the AFS file system might not have initialized their entries on the nd.edu name server; conversely, many community members who can receive mail via nd.edu ignore their AFS userids. Notre Dame also has many other central and departmental computer systems which can send and receive e-mail. As more and more users initialize their nameserver accounts there will be less need to remember these specific local systems and userids. However, for the time being, they are often the best addresses for some members of the Notre Dame community. All students are given accounts on darwin.cc.nd.edu, but not all students use them. Usernames are of the form flllllll. In case of name conflicts, numbers are added to the end to disambiguate. Questions can be sent to info@nd.edu. Univ. of Oklahoma/Norman: flllllll@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu Univ. of Oregon: CS Grads and Faculty: @cs.uoregon.edu CS Undergrads/CIE: @cie.uoregon.edu (this is only for CS undergrads subscribing to the campus information exchange) Others?: fmlast@oregon.uoregon.edu for those with email accounts U-mail: first.middle.last@oregon.uoregon.edu for those without email. Such letters are printed out with a cover sheet and delivered through the normal campus mail system (graduate students, staff, and faculty only -- undergrads do not have on-campus addresses). Univ. of Oslo (Norway) Created: Wed Mar 24 1993 Department of Informatics: userid@ifi.uio.no Faculty and staff mailboxes may be f.lastname or firstname.lastname or f.m.lastname Univ. of Pennsylvania: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993 Undergrad engineering, SEAS course accounts: eniac.seas.upenn.edu Undergrad/Grad Business: wharton.upenn.edu (all business students can get an account if they want one) Lastname plus two number identification string (arbitrary) Grad CS: grad1.cis.upenn.edu CS faculty/staff: central.cis.upenn.edu Medical School: lastname_f@a1.mscf.upenn.edu. Medical students, biomed grad students, and some faculty have accounts on this system. Undergrad Arts&Science: @sas.upenn.edu Try whois -h whois.upenn.edu lname, or whois -h whois.upenn.edu ? for help. Univ. of Pittsburgh: Students get their choice of Unix or VMS accounts, addressed as user@unix.cis.pitt.edu and user@vms.cis.pitt.edu, respectively. Student user names are of the form fmlst, where fml are their initials and "st" stands for "student". To finger the VMS accounts you must finger at vm1.cis.pitt.edu or vm2.cis.pitt.edu. Mail addressed to user@cis.pitt.edu won't be rejected, but doesn't seem to be readable for the user's VMS account. Computer Science : cs.pitt.edu Electrical Eng : ee.pitt.edu Library & Info Science : lis.pitt.edu Medical School : med.pitt.edu Univ. of Rochester: Undergraduate, Student Staff, and a few others: uhura.cc.rochester.edu (fingerd has been re-enabled on uhura, but will be permanently disabled if finger attacks resume) All incoming students now receive accounts on uhura - but whether they use them is another matter. Graduate CS: cs.rochester.edu Class Accounts, Faculty, and Graduate: troi.cc.rochester.edu Psychology: prodigal.psych.rochester.edu Anyone _who does not already have an account on another machine_ can also get an account on db1.cc.rochester.edu (vax). Whois server: whois -h db1.cc.rochester.edu 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.

The student must make a special request to use bitnet mail and there is no way to tell if he/she has been so set up. This machine is soon to acquire TCP/IP software, which may then provide finger. Univ. of Southwestern Louisiana: The entire campus population has the option to participate in electronic mail. One system is reserved for campus communications, but users can recieve mail directly at other machines without participating in the centralized system. Name look-up: telnet usl.edu -or- telnet bss.usl.edu login as user "motd" select terminal type - type dumb exists if you must! select motd program - "mail-directory" for name search - n enter partial name then 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.
