This is a summary of how to find email addresses for undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty and staff at various colleges and universities. It
is available on the World-Wide Web (via browsers such as Mosaic or lynx) at
<URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/college.html>
If your university is not listed, send me a detailed description of how to
find email addresses there, in a format similar to what I have here, and I'll
add it to this list. Please mail ADDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, and
OTHER INFORMATION to me at dalamb@qucis.queensu.ca. I will *not* answer
requests for help finding a specific address; if the school is not listed in
this posting, I do not have any information about the site.
For general information about finding e-mail addresses, check the FAQ on How
to find people's E-mail addresses at
<URL:http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/finding.html>, posted regularly to
soc.net-people and comp.mail.misc.
NOTE: After being severely backlogged for over a year, the FAQ should now be
up to date as submissions I've received up to late June, 1995. I expect to be
able to keep it up-to-date for the forseeable future. As of July 4, 1995,
general information about finding addresses has been merged into the "finding
addresses" FAQ.
An updated version of this list is posted every once in a while to the
newsgroups soc.college, soc.net-people and news.answers. The version date for
this list is located at the top of the file. The list is also available via
anonymous ftp from ftp.qucis.queensu.ca in directory pub/dalamb/college-email
as the files faq1.text, ..., faqN.text, where N is the current number of
parts. Many FAQs are available by anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu; this one
is in directory /pub/usenet/soc.college, files
College_Email_Addresses_i_N_[Monthly_posting], for i from 1 to N. You can
also send mail to "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" with the subject
send dalamb/college-email
You can get all the FAQs posted to soc.college by sending a message to "mail-
server@rtfm.mit.edu" whose body contains
send usenet/soc.college/*
We present detailed information on locating the email addresses of students,
faculty and staff at various universities. As of Feb 1993 I've started to tag
entries with the date I last changed them, so you have some clue as to how
stale the information might be.
Disclaimer: Most universities have restrictions on the uses of directory
information. So don't use this info for commercial purposes or whatnot without
securing permission from the individual colleges and universities.
******************************************************************************
* General Information *
******************************************************************************
To avoid repeating long explanations, the entries for individual universities
use a generic acronym for user IDs, formed from f's for characters from the
front of the first name, m's for characters from the front of the middle name,
l's for characters from the front of the last name. Examples are given for
two full names: "Mark Kantrowitz" (no middle initial, long last name) and
"John C Smith".
* Many UNIX sites limit userids to 8 characters, so try the first 8
characters of the last name. [smith or kantrowi] llllllll
* If there are two people with the same last name, the first initial (and
possibly the middle initial as well) are appended at the front of the
name. [jsmith or jcsmith] flllllll fmllllll
* Try appending the initials at the end of the name. [smithj or smithjc]
lllllllf llllllfm
* Try the initials of the users name. [jcs] fml
* Some sites allow longer "aliases" for finger and for mailboxes. Aliases
might be arbitrary, but some sites allow some form of the user's full
name, such as firstname.lastname [John.Smith or Mark.Kantrowitz] or
firstname_lastname.

Abo Akademi University (Turku, Finland): Changed: Mon Jun 12 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.abo.fi/>.
e-mail: firstname.lastname@abo.fi, or username@abo.fi. finger:
firstname.lastname@ra.abo.fi, or username@ra.abo.fi. Gopher service
at <URL:gopher://gopher.abo.fi>.
Postal address: Abo Akademi, FIN-20500 Abo
For the following numbers, the area code changes from 21 to 2 on 12
October 1996.
University operator: +358 21 2654 311.
Computing centre help desk: +358 21 2654 777 (e-mail:
oraklet@abo.fi)
Alfred University: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
(New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred)
Internet: bigvax.alfred.edu
Bitnet: ALFREDU or CERAMICS
Almost all students and faculty have email adresses in the form
lastnamefm, but exceptions abound. Connecting via telnet to
bigvax.alfred.edu and logging on as GENERAL will connect to the
GENERAL account, which supports username searches. Outside finger is
not supported.
Allegheny College: Created: Mon Jun 26 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.alleg.edu/>.
Students: llllllf@alleg.edu. In case of duplicates, a digit (2-9) is
added.
Faculty and staff: flllllll@alleg.edu.
Allentown College of Saint Francis de Sales (Center Valley, PA): Created: Tue Jun 27 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.allencol.edu/>.
Mail to userid@pooch1.allencol.edu; userid might be fml# or fl##;
operators may have lastname.
Some users may have accounts on accnov.allencol.edu, with the same
naming conventions.
American University: Changed: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.american.edu/>.
Finger firstname or lastname@american.edu works for some faculty and
the occasional student. You generally need to know social security
numbers to find people (!)
Userids since about 1992 have been FLnnnnX@american.edu, where nnnn is
last four digits of social security number, and X is a letter used
to distinguish duplicates (starts with A for the first name, then B,
etc.)
Older userids (e.g for many administrators and faculty) may be FLLLLLL
or Lastnam (7 characters).
Amherst College:
Students, Faculty, Staff: userid@amherst.edu. Usernames are of the
form fmllllll (e.g., jqstudent), but truncated to 12 letters instead
of 8.
Amherst.edu has a finger daemon running, but it requires an exact
username match (i.e. finger lastname@amherst.edu) doesn't work, as a
rule. It's also worth trying usernames like flllllll in case the
person in question didn't register their middle initial with the
College.
Antioch College (Yellow Springs, OH): Changed: Sat Mar 25 1995
Flastname@college.Antioch.Edu
All students, faculty, administrators, staff, and alum who request
accounts can get them. Almost all follow First Initial lastname
setup. Offices, such as ADMISSIONS, COOP etc have alias accounts.
Best bet is to send mail to help@college.antioch.edu or
jmann@college.antioch.edu
Antwerp University : UFSIA (Belgium): Created: Thu Jun 15 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.ufsia.ac.be/>.

Arizona State University: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
Finger firstname.lastname@asu.edu; all persons (students or staff)
registered in ASU can be "finger"ed. Email addresses are unreliable
though since not everyone has started using accounts yet. But most
grads and computer/Usenet literate undergrads do.
The engineering grads/ugrads are on enuxsa.eas.asu.edu. Most other
machine info should be available from netfind's seed database
search.
Arizona State University:
Academic Machines: Grad, Undergrad. The phone book for ASU's
Faculty/Students is available online by telnetting (using the IBM's
fullscreen interface using tn3270) to asuvm.inre.asu.edu and logging
on as HELLOASU. The phone book has both email addresses for academic
machines as well as the phone nos. (602 is the area code for all of
Arizona)
Engineering machines: Grad, Undergrad.
enuxha.eas.asu.edu -- Unix -- can finger first/last names or
userids
enuxva.eas.asu.edu -- Unix -- same as above
envmsa.eas.asu.edu -- VMS -- Only userid fingering works.
Usually csc and eee undergrads who use comps get accts on enuxha and
almost all grads have accts on enuxha which is the most popular
machine due to Usenet.
Atlantic Computer Institute (Halifax, N.S.): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994
Students: userid@aci1.aci.ns.ca. Userid is in the form firstnamel, to
a maximum of 8 characters. If the firstname is less than 7
characters, the userid is in the form firstname-l, e.g. Richard Doe
would be richardd, John Doe would be john-d.
Auburn University (Auburn, AL): Changed: Thu Jun 8 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.auburn.edu/>.
Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.auburn.edu>. If a user has
registered with the mail forwarder, their address will be
userid@mail.auburn.edu. Some departments have their own servers;
machine names for some major departments include:
Engineering: eng.auburn.edu
Veterinary Medicine: vetmed.auburn.edu
Business: business.auburn.edu
Augustana College (Rock Island, IL): Changed: Wed Dec 7 1994

huxley.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
coombs.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- GNU finger, allows first/last names
Undergrad: userds lllfxxxx, where xxxx is course name/unit number.
e.g. stuaca11 is A.Student doing Computer Science unit A11.
fac3.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
fac4.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only
Computer Science:
boris.anu.edu.au -- Unix -- finger on usernames only

Barnard: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
Barnard College, affiliated with Columbia.
Students and staff get free accounts on a PC-based system running
cc:mail (no finger, gopher, etc.) There is no known way of looking
up addresses. They can also request accounts on Columbia's systems.
Students: LLLLLFFM@@barnard.columbia.edu (or
@smtplink.barnard.columbia.edu)
As of October 1993, Columbia will list Barnard directory information,
so mail to firstname.lastname@columbia.edu will probably reach Barnard
recipients.
Bates College (Lewiston, Maine):
Students and Faculty: userid@abacus.bates.edu
Userids are of the form flllllll. Numbers are added to the end
of the userid in case of name conflicts, e.g. asmith, asmith2, asmith3
If the name is unique you can use firstname.lastname@bates.edu
Baylor College of Medicine:
The central mail server is bcm.tmc.edu and finger user@bcm.tmc.edu
will get you any faculty or staff user that makes use of the central
mail facility. finger user@express.bcm.tmc.edu will get you any
student that makes use of the student email facility.
whois -h whois.bcm.tmc.edu gets you the on-line phone/address book.
This is directly tied to the BCM personnel database, so the
information is as accurate as possible.
Questions about these facilities should be directed to
postmaster@bcm.tmc.edu

Bucknell University: Changed: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.bucknell.edu/>.
general: username@bucknell.edu
usernames are typically last names, but if the last name is 4 letters
or shorter, the first and middle initials are tacked onto the front.
First initials are frequently used in usernames. The first user with
any given last name who gets an account gets just his last name as
the username. Every subsequent person with that name gets a first
initial and then middle initials are used.
You can also access the CSO directory my mail to
directory@bucknell.edu, with a "FIND lastname" command in the body.
California Institute of Technology: Changed: Tue Jun 27 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.caltech.edu/>.
Links to personal home pages at
<URL:http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/beings.html>.
CCO accounts (undergrad/grad/general): username@cco.caltech.edu CCO
means campus computing org.
Try "whois -h finger.caltech.edu name" to find user names; it doesn't
necessarily find every account for a particular user.
Undergrad Computer Science (also used by a lot of people who don't fit
this discription. a fairly well used cluster). The name
ugcs.caltech.edu references the entire cluster, and can be used for
mail, finger, etc. If you don't know the username, finger search-
realname@ugcs.caltech.edu to look for realname.
CS department (grad/undergrad/fac....) cs.caltech.edu.
California Polytechnic State University/San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO):
polyslo.CalPoly.edu
California State University/Chico:
csuchico.edu
California State University/Fresno: Created: Fri Jun 9 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.csufresno.edu/>.
finger @csufresno.edu
Student accounts can be found on lennon.pub.csufresno.edu. Finger
requests on lennon aren't accepted from outside.

Faculty/staff names might be found at zimmer.csufresno.edu.
California State University/Hayward (Hayward, CA): Created: Thu Nov 10 1994
host: .calstate.edu
School of Business and Economics: FL@barney.sbe.csuhayward.edu.
Computer Info System: s1.csuhayward.edu
Fingering: gandalf.csuhayward.edu
Warning: flastname@eis.calstate.edu is format for the Electronic Info
Exchange, ONLY for local High School students. I don't believe any
Hayward State Students can get into this account.
California State University/San Marcos: Changed: Tue Jun 27 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.csusm.edu/>.
All faculty and staff have e-mail accounts of the form
firstname_lastname@csusm.edu.
Some faculty and staff have additional accounts on various Unix
computers, primarily coyote.csusm.edu. These can all be reached via

names.
Students have accounts on coyote.csusm.edu, but there is no naming
convention.
California State University/Sacramento:
csus.edu
Calvin College (Grand Rapids, MI): Changed: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.calvin.edu/>.
Use 'finger name@calvin.edu' (eg firstname or lastname) to find
addresses, since userids include parts of student numbers, so are
hard to guess.
Students: flllllnn (first intitial, first 5 of last name, last 2
digits of student number; except lastnames starting with Dutch
prefixes Van Vander Vande etc., where just the v and first 4 letters
of second part of lastname. Thus Henk Vander Bos, #123456, becomes
hvbos56, Al Shoemaker, #987654, becomes ashoem54)
(formerly s0###### where ###### is the student id number)
Faculty/staff: xxxx@calvin.edu where "xxxx" is the standard faculty
abbrevation, often lastname
Cambridge University (Cambridge, England): Changed: Mon Jul 3 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.cam.ac.uk/>.
A central directory of e-mail addresses is available from the Web
service.
Students: All undergraduates are registered for mail on
hermes.cam.ac.uk, but not all use it.
Staff and postgraduate students: some on central systems cus.cam.ac.uk
or hermes.cam.ac.uk, but many (especially in scientific subjects)
are on a variety of departmental systems.
Carleton College (Northfield, MN):: Created: Thu Jun 15 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.carleton.edu/>.
The most widely used system is carleton.edu, which runs VMS. Student
usernames are usually lastnamf, while staff, alum, faculty usernames
are flastnam.
In cases where two usernames would be identical there is no real
pattern as to how a valid username is constructed. The easiest way
to find someone is to try fingering what you think their username
would be, i.e. smithj@carleton.edu (for the student Jon Smith) or
longstop@carleton.edu (for student Pipi Longstocking). Only an
exact match will return successful.
Other systems include:
mathcs.carleton.edu: This system is growing in popularity and
currently runs NeXTStep. NeXT-mail can be accepted.
physics.carleton.edu: This system runs some sort of UNIX and is
generally limited to physics faculty and majors.
Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada): Created: Tue Jun 27 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.carleton.ca/>.
Most graduate students and faculty are flllllll@ccs.carleton.ca; try
fingering username@superior.carleton.ca to check. Some faculty/staff
can be reached as Firstname_Lastname@carleton.ca
Most undergraduates are [same username as above]@chat.carleton.ca
(unfingerable).
A directory for the school is under construction at
<URL:http://www.eng.carleton.ca/directory/>.
Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA): Changed: Mon Jul 3 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.cmu.edu/>.
Finger @cmu.edu to find people. You can try mailing to
firstname.lastname@cmu.edu, but if there are a lot of John Smiths,
you'll get a bounce message with a list of all the John Smiths.
All undergraduate students and some faculty, staff, and graduate
students: Mail sent to Fname.MI.Lname@andrew.cmu.edu used to work,
even if the name is slightly misspelled, but as of July 1995 users
can pick arbitrary vanity IDs. Most Andrew usernames are two
initials followed by two characters that will appear random to
outsiders.
Login IDs are arbitrary; to tell the mailer you're supplying an exact
ID, not to be pattern-matched with closely matching names, add a +
at the end of the name: mkant+@cs.cmu.edu. If you try an ambiguous
name, you'll get mail back with a list of matches.
In some departments (e.g CS, Robotics) everybody gets an account. In
others (e.g. English) very few get them. Departmental addresses
include:
Chemical Engineering: cheme.cmu.edu
Computational Linguistics: lcl.cmu.edu
Computer Science Grad: firstname_lastname@cs.cmu.edu
Electrical and Computer Engineering: ece.cmu.edu
English: english.hss.cmu.edu
Humanities & Social Sciences: hss.cmu.edu
Mathematics: math.cmu.edu
Psychology: psy.cmu.edu
Robotics Grad: firstname_lastname@ri.cmu.edu.
Statistics: stat.cmu.edu
Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
Use 'whois -h whois.cwru.edu' to find usernames. It supports

it has not been activated.
po.cwru.edu is the post office. Every student, professor, and staff
member has access to email through this machine, as do alumni who
activated their accounts while students. (Not everybody activates
their account, however.) User ids are of the form fml##, where ## is
a number, probably less than 30. The number is omitted if equal to
1. If there's no middle initial, m is an 'x'.
skybridge.scl.cwru.edu is the server for the undergraduate Unix lab.
The user ids on that machine are the full last name, for the most
part. (Mainly Computer Engineering and EE's on this machine.)
You can also search the Cleveland Freenet user list for CWRU people by
any part of the name; telnet to freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, choose
"Visitor", "Explore the system" and at the prompt, "go directory"

no finger server.
Many undergraduates, especially in arts, use the Faculty of Arts
Computer Lab. FACL users have addresses of the form
flllllll@facl.lan.mcgill.ca. Most non-cs, non-ee undergrads,
however, are on musicb if they have accounts at all.

Faculty reseach: vision.nodak.edu.
sendit.nodak.edu is for North Dakota public education (teachers,
school districts, and professors of education and educational
administration).
Agricultural extension: ndsuext.nodak.edu
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

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

give out userids, but it's worth a try.

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.

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.

Fingering at princeton.edu; usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes
LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL. On UNIX systems you can try
rsh pucc.princeton.edu -l anonymous -n getid Firstname Lastname
Undergrads: fingering rogue.princeton.edu should return logins at all
Princeton (CIT) UNIX-like systems. Some users read mail on
pucc.princeton.edu, a IBM (VMS) mainframe with different mail and
finger addresses. The other four main computers are
phoenix.princeton.edu, tucson.princeton.edu, and
flagstaff.princeton.edu, and ernie.princeton.edu but you should be
able to get all the relevant information from rogue. Some students
read mail off a dormroom server, student.princeton.edu, which
doesn't allow finger requests.
CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu
CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu
Math Dept: math.princeton.edu
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.

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

Stanford: Changed: Fri Jun 23 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.stanford.edu/>.
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 flastname 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
only matches exact usernames.
A couple of other machines to try:
CS (Grad and undergrad): cs.stanford.edu

SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY): Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
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.
N.B.: since about November 1993 the following doesn't seem to work.
An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is supposed to be
available;

SUNY/Buffalo: Changed: Tue Feb 21 1995
Finger name@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu, where name is userid or lastname or
firstname; you'll get a list of possible matches if there is more
than one.
Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu. 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.

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
Syracuse University: Changed: Tue Jun 6 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.syr.edu/>.
Users can create their own home pages at <URL:http://web.syr.edu>.
mailbox.syr.edu is the central mail server -- the most widely used by
faculty and students, and much of the staff. The pattern for
userids is: first-initial + middle-initial + as much of the last
name as possible. Mail to userid@syr.edu forwards to the user's
actual mail system, if the user has asked for forwarding.
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.syr.edu
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
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.

World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.tamu.edu/>.
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: tam2000.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@tamu.edu (which uses ph, the
CSO Nameserver). This depends on users logging in to the database
to make their own entry.
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".

Cadets: you must know the cadet's last name, first and middle
initials, class year, and cadet squadron. For example, John Ivan
Smith, class year 96, squadron CS-17, gives
SmithJI96%CS17%USAFA@cadetmail2.usafa.af.mil The cadetmail# portion
is based on groups, which are in turn based on squadrons. Squadrons
1-10 are group 1, 11-20 are group 2, 21-30 are group 3, and 31-40
are group 4.
Instructors and faculty: class year is not applicable, and squadron is
replaced with the department they work in. All academic departments
are preceded by DF and then the department's abbreviation is placed.
The cadetmail2 is also dropped. For example, an instructor, Smith,
J I who works in the English department, would be denoted as:
SmithJI%DFENG%USAFA@usafa.af.mil

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

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.
University 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.

uclink3 addresses.
CS and EECS undergraduates: cory.EECS.berkeley.edu. soda.CSUA,
ucsee.eecs, and hkn.eecs are run by students (CS Undergrad
Association, UC Society of EEs, and Eta Kappa Nu, respectively).
First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.EECS.berkeley.edu or
xcssun.cs.berkeley.edu. antipodes.cs.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

now foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are.
EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation
Many csgrads will have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which supports
finger. Systems to try for grad students are (all
.cs.berkeley.edu): sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics,
postgres, and ginger.
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.
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.
Many business students have accounts on haas.berkeley.edu.
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 Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Studies), and accounts
are available to any Social Sciences major by permission of their

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.
Also, people can look for staff people on whois.berkeley.edu.
postmaster@nic.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last choice when
looking from someone electronically.
University of California/Davis: Changed: Thu Nov 10 1994
whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>
@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
CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu
Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu or
First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu
othello and bullwinkle.ucdavis.edu are for general use. Userids are
ez0xxxxx, where xxxxx is a 5 digit assigned number.
University 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.

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.
Astronomy Deptarment: mira.astro.ucla.edu or eggneb.astro.ucla.edu.
Finger works on either. Usernames are almost always the last name
(e.g., "doe" for John Doe). Some (<10%) use various other
usernames, usually made from their name, such as "john", "johnd",
"jdoe", or "jd".
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).
University of California/Riverside: Created: Thu Jun 22 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.ucr.edu/>.
General: name@watserv.ucr.edu or @watmail.ucr.edu.
University 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). There are many other
subdomains for other subjects (math, cs, ee, etc.).
Many, many other machines house course, faculty, staff, and research
accounts. Your best bet is to look the name up at ucsd.edu.
University 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.
University of Central Florida (Orlando):
CS dept: only grad students are given accounts. finger

University 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.
University 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:

University of Delaware: Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
All undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty have
accounts on the university system at strauss.udel.edu. Also there
are bach, brahms, and chopin{.udel.edu}.
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.
Faculty are best reached at Firstname.Lastname@mvs.udel.edu, though
some have accounts on the "composers" machines.
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.

University 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.

World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.umich.edu/>.
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), azure.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 service at <URL:gopher://gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu>, 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

University of Minnesota: Changed: Fri Nov 25 1994
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.

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

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.

logins are the person's initials.
University 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.

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

Finger username@uni.edu
University 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.

University of Vermont:
There are two main computing organizations on campus: UCS (University
Computing Services) and EMBA-CF (Division of Engineering,
Mathematics, and Business Administration, Computer Facility). As a
general rule, people with accounts at EMBA-CF do not bother to
obtain accounts at UCS. UVM's domain name is `uvm.edu', and sub-
domains are not generally used. Most of the UVM network has most
TCP ports blocked off, but one machine, emily.uvm.edu, can serve as
a gateway for, for example, the finger program, (i.e., finger
someone@somehost@emily.uvm.edu.)
UCS has three main machines: uvmvax.uvm.edu (UVMVAX.BITNET),
uvmvm.uvm.edu (UVMVM.BITNET), and UVMADMIN.BITNET. Accounts on
UVMVAX (a VMS system) are generally of the form Lastname_F; accounts
on UVMVM and UVMADMIN don't seem to follow any particular scheme,
but Lastname and LastnameF seem to be popular. Many UCS staff
people use their initials. UVMVAX supports unspecified finger only;
UVMVM doesn't support finger at all.
EMBA-CF supports computing for the departments of Math/Stat, Business
Administration, CS/EE, and Civil/Mechanical Engineering, as well as
the administration of the College of Engineering and Mathematics;
all students, faculty, and staff in the Division are entitled to an
account, although many students do not bother to get a non-class
account. Sometimes, other people may be given accounts on EMBA-CF
machines.
EMBA-CF has three separate mail-spool servers, and users are free to
forward their mail to whichever one they happen to prefer; these
machines are uvm-gen.uvm.edu, hal.uvm.edu, and trantor.uvm.edu.
uvm-gen is also known as just plain UVM.EDU, and most faculty and
staff with accounts at EMBA-CF have a alias of the form
Firstname{.M}.Lastname installed at uvm-gen. All other users,
except for class and staff accounts, are assigned by last name, with
a numeric suffix in case of collision. Staff accounts for work-
study employees are usually of the form operfml. Class accounts are
of the form ddNNNfml, where dd is the department
(cs,ce,me,ee,ma,st,ba) and NNN is the class number; in case of
collision, the class number or middle initial may be changed.
There are two sub-domains: msg.uvm.edu belongs to Mach Systems Group,
a group of graduate students involved porting operating systems
(most notably, Mach 2.5 and 3.0) to local hardware; and med.uvm.edu
belongs to the UVM School of Medicine, which is not very well
networked as yet.

University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario: Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
Computing and Communications Services operates a campus directory
service as well as a campus E-mail forwarding service. This covers
all of the faculty and staff listed in the campus telephone
directory as well as many students. Registration is voluntary but
for faculty and staff is reasonably complete and accurate.

% mail common-name@uwo.ca
eg. mail smith@uwo.ca
eg. mail j.smith@uwo.ca
eg. mail john.smith@uwo.ca
Mail will either be forwarded to the user with that common name, or if
the name is not unique, you will receive a returned message listing
all users with that common name.

Some grad students also on macc.wisc.edu. Most faculty/staff were on
macc.wisc.edu; as of February 1995, most are migrating to
facstaff.wisc.edu, with the same name pattern as students.wisc.edu.
For other departments, you can sometimes guess the hostname from the
department name. Thus: meteor.wisc.edu for Meteorology,
math.wisc.edu for Mathematics.

World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.peachnet.edu/>.
PeachNet is a statewide electronic information network, providing
access to information resources and services which support the
academic, research, and administrative needs of educational
communities in Georgia. Gopher service at
<URL:gopher://gopher.peachnet.edu>.
Individual campuses often have their own WWW and Gopher services.
Ursinus College (Collegeville, PA): Created: Sun Mar 20 1994
finger userid@acad.ursinus.edu. Usernames are often fflastname.
Utah State University:
cc.usu.edu - This is the MAIN VAX. A Vax 6510 that is usually the
system that everyone uses for most purposes. Our Usenet news is on
this computer as well as other utilities. This is also the system
that is a bitnet node (USU). So mail can be sent to usu.bitnet as
well.
mua.usu.edu - This is our Micro-VAX that is running ultrix. Because
this is the popular domain for TinyTALK and TinyFUGUE programs, the
active Gamers use this system.
You can finger both systems, the account names are given in a random
fashion that consists of a five letter code. The first two letters
usually denoting whether the user is a student or a faculty member.
SL___ account belong to students and FA___ accounts belong to
faculty members. The easiest way to locate a user is to send mail
to OPERATOR@cc.usu.edu or, if your system supports the bitnet SEND
command, use SEND OPERATOR@USU and ask them to look up the name for
you.
Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, Indiana): Created: Tue Jun 13 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.valpo.edu/>.
Students: address takes the form of fml####@exodus.valpo.edu, where
fml are the student's initials and #### are the last four numbers of
the student's ID number. remote finger is only supported if you
know the actualy login (finger lastname@exodus.valpo.edu will not
work). The system is currently a VAX.
Some students have address based on a class they are currently
enrolled in, and these are done by a course number and their
lastnames: ie. P201SMITH@exodus.valpo.edu
A few students have accounts because of their jobs or because they are
involved in research. Two examples are: Student Consultants for
the university have ACC_fml@exodus.valpo.edu and students doing
research have RES_fml@exodus.valpo.edu
Faculty/Staff: on the same system as the students. Address takes the
form of flllllll
Additional machines: there also exists a unix-based system with the
address of gellerson.valpo.edu, which is based in the college of
Engineering. Students can pick their own userid's. This system
supports finger, so a few tries with lastname or firstname should do
the trick. Only mathematics and engineering students and faculty
will have accounts on this system.
Vanderbilt University:
Engineering faculty and grad students: @vuse.vanderbilt.edu (most user
IDs are the three initials)
Undergrads and other grad students: @ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu Most user
IDs are llllllfm (8 chars max). You can't finger on this VAX
cluster; try sending mail to userserv@ctrvax.vanderbilt.edu; you
should get a response within a business day or so.
Vassar: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
Students: FFLastname@vaxsar.vassar.edu. (Formerly FMLLLLLLLLLL).
Every student is given a VAX account, but few actually activate them
(by asking for a password).
Faculty: Faculty must request an account in order to get it, but most
of those who have accounts use them. Recent faculty usernames are of
the same form as students; previously they were lastnames followed
by enough letters of the first name to ensure uniqueness. Their
accounts are also on vaxsar.vassar.edu.
Fingering with the username or the lastname will usually work.
Vesalius College (Brussels, Belgium): Created: Mon Jun 12 1995
World-Wide Web service at <URL:http://www.vub.ac.be/VECO/VECO-
intro.html>.
An English-language US-style 4-year undergraduate liberal arts college

indicates the department at the VUB: For Vesalius College: d = 'v'.
Other depts: d='hw','tw','we',... The '#' are digits.
Staff or students on special projects: username has <=8 chars
flllllll@vnet3.vub.ac.be or flllllll@vub.ac.be
Some labs at the VUB have their own subdomain, e.g., info (computer
engineering lab), arti (AI lab), etro (electronics), prog
(programming techn. lab). Staff and students' usernames are <=8
chars and sometimes have aliases of the form first.last: <user or
alias>@<domain>.vub.ac.be

Washington University, St. Louis MO: Changed: Wed Nov 9 1994
Arts&Sciences undergrads: fmllllll or flllllll@artsci.wustl.edu
Undergrad Engineers: Mail to userid@cec.wustl.edu; you can get userids
by finger lastname@cec.wustl.edu. Userids are usually the user's
three initials (or two if no middle) followed by a number
disambiguating name conflicts; if there is no name conflict, the
number is a 1. However, the few who work for ECL or CEC can choose
their own user names if they want. Fingering from outside the
university should work.
Computer science grads (and undergrads doing research) have accounts
on cs.wustl.edu and anyone can have an account on maria. On these
machines, the user chooses his/her own login name to be enabled.
Usernames for engineering faculty are their three initials or
lastname.
Business school: usually lastname@simon.wustl.edu, or LastnameF if
there is a conflict.
Wayne State University, Detroit MI:
All students in the University, regardless of their major or college
can have access to an account.
Engineering: ss0.eng.wayne.edu (or nova, or ece, or any solar planet,
e.g. sun, venus, ...)

(computer science students). All students and faculty have access
and email addresses free of charge after logging on the system
campus-wide.
Wellesley College (Wellesley, Massachusetts):
FLastname#@lucy.wellesley.edu, where F is first initial, and digit #
is used only to disambiguate (e.g. JSMITH1). Finger not accepted
from remote sites. Faculty names never get the #.
Wesleyan:
Accounts are on eagle.wesleyan.edu. The username is of the form
FLname, where F is the first initial and Lname is the lastname of
the individual.
West Chester University:
Users (at least undergraduates, if not others) are given accounts on a
machine whose name is the same as the first letter of their last
name. Usernames are of the form fllllll. So John Doe would be
jdoe%d%wcu@isn.wcupa.edu. Send mail to postmaster@isn.wcupa.edu if
you have questions.

created up to 1993, LLLLLLLL@whitman.edu. Finger works..
Widener University:
General: First.Last@cyber.widener.edu (it may also need a middle
initial)
CS: lastname@cs.widener.edu
Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, Ontario): Changed: Thu Nov 10 1994
Gopher service at <URL:gopher://info.wlu.ca>.
Willamette University, Salem OR:
All students, faculty and staff: <userid>@willamette.edu, where userid
is <first initial><lastname> (e.g. ksmith) up to 8 characters.
Williams College: Changed: Mon Jan 24 1994
Students: Firstname.M.Lastname@williams.edu, possibly with _N (N a
number) to disambiguate.
Usernames *used to be* YYFML (YY = year, F = first initial, M = middle
initial, L = last initial); these can still be found by fingering
@bigbird.cc.williams.edu. You *must* finger one of these IDs to get
Finger information; fingering by names doesn't work.
Williams' postmaster will not give out user ids to outside requests.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute:
@wpi.wpi.edu
Wright State University (Dayton, Ohio): Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
flastnmame@discover.wright.edu or @desire.wright.edu

Faculty, staff, students: firstname.lastname@yale.edu. Finger
firstname or lastname@yale.edu for more information.
York University (Toronto, Ontario): Changed: Mon Feb 15 1993
Try ``finger name@yorku.ca'' using first name, last name and probable
userid. Also try ``whois -h horton.yorku.ca name'', also with first
and last names. The faculty and staff phone book is available on
Gopher service at <URL:gopher://gopher.yorku.ca> and experimentally
by ph from the same machine.
About 1/3 of the faculty and staff have email, and perhaps 1/8 of the
students.
Faculty, Staff: userid@yorku.ca or userid@faculty.yorku.ca Userids are
often first-initial last-name, but do vary.
Student userids do not follow a simple pattern. Students with email
are on ariel,yorku.ca (computer science), glade.yorku.ca (cs and
part-time students), writer.yorku.ca (computer aided writing centre)
and calumet.yorku.ca. Most of these clusters are fingerable.
Questions can be sent to postmaster@yorku.ca; they're not too useful
when searching for students, as there is no student phonebook.
However ``whois -h horton.yorku.ca name'' discovers many student
adresses.
