This is the second third of the summary of how to find email addresses
for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at various
colleges and universities. 

;;; ********************************
;;; Email Database: N-T, U to Univ of 
;;; ********************************

	
New Jersey Institute of Technology:
	Newark NJ 07021
	CS PhD Studs: user@newark.njit.edu
	Grad Studs:   user@hertz.njit.edu (ultrix), user@tesla.njit.edu (vms)

New Mexico State Univ.:
	Virtually all email addresses are of the form
	fllllll@nmsu.edu. Finger is not well supported. Mail to
	postmaster should help. (Also, if you have an account, there
	is a postmaster program.)

North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC:
	Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger
	All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.

Northeastern:
	The engineering postmaster is postmaster@nueng.coe.northeastern.edu.
	For other mail, try postmaster@northeastern.edu

Northwestern:
	Undergrads: formerly nuacc.acns.nwu.edu (nuacc.bitnet).
	Username is lastname. 
	Campus mail is being moved over to casbah.acns.nwu.edu, and
	all new accounts will be created on this machine. Mail sent to
	Firstname_Lastname@nwu.edu should reach the person if they
	have an account. You can also telnet to casbah [129.105.113.52],
	logging in as "ph" and use "query NAME" to find out information
	about NAME.
	Tech grad students: username@eecs.nwu.edu

Norwegian Institute of Technology:

	Students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology can be reached at
	@solan.unit.no, @siri.unit.no, @lise.unit.no.  Students usually have
	access to three different computer rooms with email machines - solan,
	siri and lise, of which solan is by far the more popular because of
	its convenient physical location on the campus.  Email sent to one
	room will not be available on another, so someone logging in on solan
	will not learn about new mail on lise or siri - UNLESS (s)he has set
	up his accounts on lise and siri to forward all mail to solan.  Most
	people probably don't know they can do this.

	The Norwegian Institute of Technology, aka NTH (Norges Tekniske
	Hoegskole) is part of the University of Trondheim (UNIT, which is in
	the domain name), but I believe NTH is the only part of the university
	with email access.  All students at NTH have the right to open an
	account on the the email machines, which are Unix based and are on the
	Internet, but this right is not very heavily advertized, so most
	people don't use the machines.

	Login names may be FLLLLLLL, LLLLLLLL, FFFFFFFF, FMLLLLLL, or (as in
	my case, because I have very common first and last names) MMMMMMMM.
	F=first name, M=middle name, L=last name.  The login name is maximum
	eight characters.  FLLLLLLL is probably the most common; MMMMMMMM and
	especially FMLLLLLL is probably quite rare.  LLLLLLLL and FFFFFFFFF
	may be used if the user's last or first names are not not very common,
	especially if they are foreign.

NCSU:
	Faculty/Staff: accounts on adm.csc.ncsu.edu. No specific naming
	convention for faculty accounts.

	Graduate Students: accounts on druid.csc.ncsu.edu. login names are 
	gr-xxx where xxx are the initials of the person. However, using the
	person first or last name will also work. 

	All engineers have accounts on eos.ncsu.edu

	Most undergraduate id's are fmllllll@eos.ncsu.edu

	College of textiles comp. center: fmllllll@unity.ncsu.edu


Oberlin:
	Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvax{a,b}, which
	can be reached as oberlin.bitnet and ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu.
	Student User IDs are of the form:  S+first & last initials
	+ last 4 digits of the student ID (e.g. SDG1234)
	Faculty IDs are of the form: F + lastname. 
	Best bet is to send mail to postmaster@oberlin.bitnet

	CS students/faculty: occs.cs.oberlin.edu (student usernames
	are mostly last names, occasionally with a first initial to
	disambiguate; faculty and staff are generally 3 initials).
	You can also send mail to postmaster.

Ohio State University: 
	Faculty, Staff, Graduate students: flllllll@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu
	CS Students, Faculty and Staff: cis.ohio-state.edu, with
	username lastname, fllllll, llllll-f, fml, firstname or lllll-fm.
	Faculty and staff are mostly first or last name.

	Also, some students have their accounts aliased so that
	you can send mail/finger to lastname.#@osu.edu
	where # is required and is anything from 1 on up to infinity
	(these numbers can get very large for names like Smith, i.e. in
	the thousands). "whois -h osu.edu" and telneting to osu.edu should
        also work.

Ohio University (Athens OH):
	CS (UNIX): fllll@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
	CS (VMS): oucsduce.cs.ohiou.edu
	EE (grad students): fllll@bobcat.ent.ohiou.edu, @redskins.ent.ohiou.edu
	Undergrads (class accounts): OUACCVMB.BITNET    
	Faculty: OUACCVMA.BITNET

Oklahoma State/Stillwater:
	userid@rsc.ceat.okstate.edu

Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology:
	Only Graduate Students. Their host, ogccse, is @cse.ogc.edu.
	This recently changed to cse.ogi.edu.

Oregon State: 
	CS: mist.cs.orst.edu, prism.cs.orst.edu

Penn State Univ.:
	Undergrads: psuvm.psu.edu (psuvm.bitnet)
	Engineering Computer Lab: @psuhcx.psu.edu
	Most of the Engineering Computer Lab accounts are on the VAXCluster
	PSUECL.bitnet (or ecl.psu.edu). 

	PSUVM doesn't support finger, but they do have a Bitnet server
	that will return a username for a given name (or vice versa). To use,
	send an interactive message HELP to IDSERVER@PSUVM

	psuvax1.bitnet (dba psuvax1.cs.psu.edu, psuvax1.uucp) is their
	bitnet<-->uucp gateway.

	The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other
	things, the entire student, staff, and faculty directory.

	To use EBB, one connects to psuvm.psu.edu from an
	Internet-connected site using tn3270.  After the initial logon
	screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen will clear.
	Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and the user will be presented with
	the top-level EBB menu, one item of which is "DIRECTORY". 
	Typing "dir" and RETURN will select the university directory.
	The rest should be obvious, but for a couple of other points:
	EBB assumes you're using an IBM terminal, and displays help in
	the form of PF keys to move around, etc.  A simple "+" serves
	to scroll ahead, and "-" moves backward. Typing the RETURN key
	alone will back up one level of menus, so typing RETURN
	repeatedly will ultimately close the connection. 

Polytechnic University (New York)
	This is a listing for Brooklyn and Farmingdale Campuses
	Code    System Name             Comments
	----    -----------             ----------------
	F       borg

	X       wri
	Legend: F = Fingerable          X = Nonfingerable
		W = At login: prompt typing in 'who' will list parties logged on
	All system names end with ".poly.edu", e.g.  'finger @Poly-TS.poly.edu'
	Most login names begin with first initial then first seven character
	  of last name.  Most undergrad users would be on george, gracie,
	  ishara, tasha and worf systems.

Pomona College (Claremont, CA):
	Internet: fllllll@pomona.claremont.edu (bitnet flllll@pomona.bitnet)

        Usernames are the first character of the first name, followed
	by the full last name (John Doe would be JDOE).  In case of conflicts, 
	the middle initial is used between first and last name. (If JDOE 
	already has an account, James A. Doe would be JADOE).  Finger works.


Portland State University (Portland, Oregon): 
	Students: odin.cc.pdx.edu

Princeton:
	Undergrads: phoenix.princeton.edu, pucc.princeton.edu (VM)
	pucc.bitnet. (Both phoenix and pucc are now fingerable.)
	CS Grad Studs/Faculty: cs.princeton.edu
	CogSci Lab: clarity.princeton.edu
	Math Dept: math.princeton.edu

	You can also try fingering at princeton.edu.

	Some people also have accounts on gauguin.princeton.edu 

	Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL.

Purdue:
	At Purdue, engineering students (undergrad/grad) have accounts
	on machines on the Engineering Computer Network (ECN).  There
	are hundreds of machines, but the main ones are named according
	to a fairly discernible system, i.e.

	e?.ecn.purdue.edu = Electrical	c?.ecn.purdue.edu = Civil
	k?.ecn.purdue.edu = Chemical	g?.ecn.purdue.edu = Nuclear/Aero
	m?.ecn.purdue.edu = Mechanical	p?.ecn.purdue.edu = Potter Library

	In each case, "?" is one of 'a', 'b', 'c', etc..check your
	local host tables or nameserver for a current list.
	Undergrads usually end up on the 'n' series of machines... en,
	mn, cn, and gn.

	Effective 10/16/90, mail to ecn hosts need only be labeled
	with the local domain. For example, user@ecn.purdue.edu. Mail
	sent there will automatically be forwarded to the users mailbox.

	Usernames on ecn machines are assigned according to user
	preferences. Try the usual (initials, fllllll, first name,
	last name, etc.). You can send mail to ecn.purdue.edu (which
	will forward it to the appropriate machine). Also, if your
	finger supports arguments, doing a 'finger -l lastname' will
	find people by name regardless of account.

        Other students (CS, math/stat, and science majors) usually have
        accounts on machines operated by the Purdue University Computing
        Center (PUCC).  These machines are all in the ".cc.purdue.edu"
        subdomain.  Many usernames are based on the user's last name and
        initials, but many still use three letter/number combinations which
        have nothing to do with the user's name.  Computing center staff
        usernames are either a name chosen by the user, or a three-letter
        combination beginning with "a".  Additionally, "finger" with a
        name argument will find all people with that name, so try
        "finger -l lastname".

        Students are found on the 'instructional' machines; the
        distribution of major courses is approximately like this:

        expert  = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
        sage    = more low-level courses, first semester CS
        mentor  = most other CS courses

        Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
        one of these three machines, since there are many smaller groups
        to which accounts are issued.

	Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC
	machines, but mace, boiler, and j are the most likely places
	to find them. Staff can always be reached through 'staff'
	regardless of where they have their accounts.

	In addition to those, there is an IBM mainframe which is found
	on the Internet as vm.cc.purdue.edu or on BITNET as PURCCVM.
	It is used primarily by research users and Computer Technology
	majors. Usernames are either based on the person's real name
	or Xyyy where yyy is a 3-character PUCC ID.

	Graduate CS students are found on machines in the ".cs.purdue.edu"
	subdomain, including "arthur", "mordred", "merlin", and other
	machines named after characters from the Arthurian legends.
	Mail to cs.purdue.edu usually works.

	Veterinary students are found on machines in the ".vet.purdue.edu"
	subdomain; these machines are named after animals or other vet
	terms e.g. "dog", "goat", "pharm"...Agricultural/Agronomy Engineering
	students are found on machines in the ".acn.purdue.edu" subdomain;
	these include "harvest", "barn", etc...Some folks in chemistry
	can be found on machines in the ".chem.purdue.edu" subdomain;
	many of these are named after items from the Dr. Who series,
	e.g. "doctor", "tardis", "k9"...Some folks in psychology can be
	found on machines in the ".psych.purdue.edu" subdomain; these
	machines are named after Latin/South American countries,
	e.g. "peru", "brazil", "mexico", "panama"...Some folks in
	biology can be found on machines in the ".bio.purdue.edu" subdomain;
	some of these machines are named after Tolkien characters,
	e.g. "bilbo", "gollum"...Some folks in physics can be found on
	machines in the ".physics.purdue.edu" subdomain; these machines
	are named after physicists, e.g. "maxwell", "newton"... The
	Krannert School of Management is in the .mgmt subdomain, with
	hosts zeus and hera. Most management students will be found on
	a PUCC machine.

Reed College:
	username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll

Rice:

	Mail may be sent to <username>@rice.edu. Note that you can't
	finger this machine. Rice students now have off-campus
	electronic access (email, netnews), so long as it is for
	educational purposes only.

	Owlnet accounts are provided for undergraduate and graduate engineers.
	Non-engineers are given accounts when needed for a class, and then
	the accounts are deleted after the class is over. A general address
	for these accounts is @owlnet.rice.edu.
	
	All students are given accounts on the rice mainframe computer, though
	off-campus access is still restricted for these accounts unless given
	permission.  The address is @ricevm1.rice.edu and userid's are
	of the form fllll00, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu.

   Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a
   user. Department machines are generally for MS/PhD graduate
   students, faculty, and staff. The OWLNET machines are used for
   classes. (Thus the user population on OWLNET machines consists
   primarily of undergraduates and graduate students in
   professional degree plans such as Master of Computer Science.)
	
   NOTE: all the names given should have ".rice.edu" appended to them.

	  digits of Social Security Number (SSN)
	UNIX accounts on other machines within the rit.edu domain use just
	  last 4 digits of SSN

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology: Terre Haute, IN
        There are three major systems on which students are given accounts:
          - Academic VAXcluster: rosevc.rose-hulman.edu
                All students have accounts.
          - NeXT workstation network: nextwork.rose-hulman.edu
                All students have accounts.
          - CS department network: cs.rose-hulman.edu
                Any student can get an account upon request.
        Student usernames are consistent across the systems, in the form
        llllllfm.  Mail addresses of the form: first.m.last@rose-hulman.edu
        are also accepted; mail is directed to a preferred address.

Rutgers:
	Rutgers now (as of December 1991) has a whitepages server, so
	you can do whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname" to
	find email addresses. 
	CS faculty: cs.rutgers.edu (alias aramis.rutgers.edu)
	CS grad studs: paul.rutgers.edu
	CS undergrad: remus.rutgers.edu
	CS Systems Staff: cs.rutgers.edu, klinzhai.rutgers.edu,
	hardees.rutgers.edu 
	Engineering: zodiac.rutgers.edu, cancer.rutgers.edu, pisces.rutgers.edu
	Zodiac is an alias for the pisces/cancer vax-cluster. Many engineering
	grad students have accounts on caip.rutgers.edu or jove.rutgers.edu.
	First and second year engineering students occasionally get
	accounts on this vax cluster.
	Math: math.rutgers.edu, hilbert.rutgers.edu, fermat, newton, euler
	Other machines: elbereth.rutgers.edu, dorm.rutgers.edu (The latter
	for students who live in one particular dormitory.)
	Usernames are fml or llllll or fllllll or fmllllll or sometimes
	something else entirely.

	There is a machine, pilot.njin.net, which is available to any
	Faculty/Staff member at any New Jersey college by request. As
	such, using finger lastname@pilot.njin.net may be useful in finding
	someone at any of the non-Rutgers colleges in NJ.

San Diego State University:
	Faculty and Staff:  flastname@sciences.sdsu.edu where f is the
	first initial followed by the last name.

	To access the campus phone directory:
	(1) whois -h sciences.sdsu.edu name
	    where name is the last name of the person you want.

	(2) telnet to sciences.sdsu.edu and log in as whois
		telnet sciences.sdsu.edu
		SunOS UNIX (sciences)
		login: whois

		     ***** College of Sciences Online Phone Directory *****
		You may:
		  *  Enter a name the way you think it is spelled.
		  *  Enter '=' followed by the first part of a correctly
		     spelled name. 
		  *  Enter '+' followed by an E-mail address.
		  *  Enter '#' followed by a telephone number.
		  *  Enter '*' followed by any part of a name.
		  *  Enter '$' followed by a first name (sound alike)
		  *  Enter '!' followed by a first name.
		  *  Enter '?' or 'help' to display this message.
		  *  Enter ^D or a blank line to terminate.

Santa Clara University:

	Students and faculty with accounts there, at least in some cases, may
	be reached as FLLLLLLL@scuacc.scu.edu, where FLLLLLLLL is the first
	initial and LLLLLLL is the last name (or perhaps the first n
	characters of the last name).

	The IP address for SCUACC.SCU.EDU is 129.210.8.1.

	You might want to contact the postmaster there for further
	information.  The telephone number for the Acedemic Computer Center is
	408/554-4082

Scripps College, Claremont, CA:
    	Mail to: flast@scripps.claremont.edu	(Novell network)
	Finger at: charon.claremont.edu		(Charon mail server)
	Charon knows nothing about users unless they're logged in (and
	crashes regularly).

Seattle University:
	Everybody (students and faculty) are on the same machine, 
	@seattleu.edu

Simon Fraser University
	Computer Science: @cs.sfu.ca
	Campus Wide: @sfu.ca
	
Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866   (518) 584-5000
  Internet domain name:      skidmore.edu
  Bitnet node name:          skidmore

  All e-mail is collected by  scott.skidmore.edu (141.222.1.4)

  Usernames normally take the form  first initial and first seven 
  characters of the last name.  You can also employ "fname.lname",
  giving the complete first and last names separated by a dot.

  Contact LDG@SCOTT.SKIDMORE.EDU for any delivery problems or other
  questions about the College.

Smith: smith.smith.edu

Sonoma State University: fname.lname@sonoma.edu

Southwest Texas State University:

	cs and math faculty or grad students: @swtexas.bitnet
		(most user IDs are cs_lastname or ma_lastname)

Stanford:
	Undergrads: Most students have accounts on leland.stanford.edu
	Some students have accounts on popserver, which is dedicated
	to email. Their usernames can be fingered at angelo.stanford.edu.
	Your best bet is to finger using the person's last name, as 
	students may choose any username. (Leland is not fingerable.)

	[The following service has not yet been implemented at
         Stanford, as of 10-23-91. --mark	
		You can also try fingering fmllllll@stanford.edu. This uses
		the whois server on argus.stanford.edu. (Also try flllll or
		llllll, depending on how common the name is.) This info isn't
		updated as often as it should be; students (including
		undergrads) can update their own email addresses, but few know
		how to or care. ]

	To use finger service at Stanford, you must already know a person's
	e-mail address.  To find out someone's e-mail address, use whois
	service.  Issue the command 
	     > whois -h stanford.edu <last_name, full_name, unique_id, 
	                              telephone_number, or e-mail_address if
	                              you know that but want other info.>


St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN):

     UNIX accounts are created for all students upon their admission to the
     College.  Not all faculty and staff have accounts yet, but we're
     working on that.

	General address form:	lname@stolaf.edu
	Last name conflicts are usually resolved by adding first
	and/or middle initials to the end of the last name.

	Try fingering Lname@stolaf.edu (note the capital letter).

	Try using the St. Olaf Gopher information server at gopher.stolaf.edu.
	Phonebook information can be found under "St. Olaf Information".

	Try sending email to postmaster@stolaf.edu describing the
	person you're trying to contact.

	CSO phone book server at cso.stolaf.edu.

SUNY/Alfred (Alfred, NY)
	(SUNY College of Technology at Alfred)
	Students and faculty: llllllfm@snyalfva.cc.alfredtech.edu
	   (lastname, firstname, middlename, though middle name sometimes
	    isn't used.

SUNY/Binghamton: (Binghamton, NY)

	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), bingvaxu (Unix), bingsuns (SunOS), bingvmb
		(IBM), or bingtjw (IBM).  Older userids are of the
		form vyNNNN@bingvaxa, vuNNNN@bingvaxu, and
		bgNNNN@bingvmb.

	Interested undergrads tend to have accounts on bingvaxa,
	though those in Math/CS classes will have accounts on
	bingsuns.  

	An e-mail directory for some faculty and staff is available;
	telnet to bingvmb.cc.binghamton.edu
	DIAL VTAM
	ELIXIR
	Choose from menu.

SUNY/Buffalo:
	Grads, Undergrads: username@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu [finger not possible]
		Userids of the form VNNNXXXX where NNN are the first
		3 digits of one's social security number, and XXXX are
		4 alphanumerics representing the rest of the social
		security number. 
	General Computing Center (students): username@acsu.buffalo.edu

	ubvms is a VAX, and most students had accounts there.
	Recently, however, more people are getting accounts on acsu,
	the Unix system.	

	Engineering Students: username@eng.buffalo.edu
	EE Students: username@beatrix.eng.buffalo.edu
	CS Dept: username@cs.buffalo.edu (username@sunybcs.bitnet)
	
	The usernames for the acsu, cs (and possibly eng) seems to be formed
	by something appoximating the following rules: 
	  1) If lastname is <=8 character, 
		  1.1) if it does not already exist as a username, 
			  then username=lastname. (eg. smith)
		  1.2) else 
			  username is first initial + lastname (eg. jsmith)
	  2) If lastname is too long, and a middle initial exists, 
		  then username is initials (eg. jcs)
	  3) If lastname is too long but no middle initial exists, 
		  then username is the first 5 chars of the last name, a -, and
		  then the initial. (eg. James Smithenson would be smith-j).

	The cs and acsu domains share mail alias files, so mail to a username
	at either cs.buffalo.edu or acsu.buffalo.edu will arrive at the user
	in the same mailbox.

	There are also geog (Geography), arch (Architecture) and med
	(Medicine) domains.


SUNY/Stony Brook:
	Undergraduates: flllllll@ccvm.sunysb.edu (sbccvm.bitnet)
		        flllllll@ccmail.sunysb.edu (sbccmail.bitnet)
			(servers ccsinc.bitnet and ccnova.bitnet)
			flllllll@ic.sunysb.edu (servers are libserv1,
			csserv1, csserv2, eeserv1; can't finger).
	CS Folks: cs.sunysb.edu (cs is an alias to the host sbcs)
	You can also use the campus "white pages", whois -h sunysb.edu ...
	or try fingering at fllll@sunysb.edu

Syracuse Univ.:
     	CompSci Grads/Faculty: top.cis.syr.edu
      	   Many CompSci graduates and faculty have accounts on this
      	   machine; the usual username pattern is "lastname@top.cis.syr.edu"
	Some faculty and staff:
	   SUADMIN.bitnet (suadmin.syr.edu)
     	Other students and faculty:
      	    mailbox.syr.edu
            sunrise.syr.edu (VAX 8820/VMS)
            suvm.acs.syr.edu    (IBM 3090/CMS)
	suvm.acs.syr.edu and sunrise.syr.edu are run by the SU Computing
	  Services. Undergrads usually have accounts on sunrise (which is a
	  VAX VMS cluster). Both hosts are on bitnet as suvm and sunrise.
      	The pattern for all these hosts is: first-initial + middle-initial +
	  as much of the last name as possible. 

     	White-Pages: "finger name@syr.edu" will search the online catalog
	  white pages for a registered user that has his/her information public.
	  Mutliple matches produces multiple output.  "finger @syr.edu" for more
	  details.  The same information is available via a BITNET directory
	  server (NSERVE@SUVM.BITNET), through PSI's X.500 project, and through
	  whois -h syr.edu
     	Phone Book: The Syracuse Phone book has the same e-mail addresses as
	  are available in the White pages, but as it's only printed once a
	  year they are usually out of date.  Dialing (315) 443-1870 is campus
	  information;  if the userid exists in the phonebook, the people
	  there will be happy to give it out.
     	consult@mailbox.syr.edu  -- If the username exists, and that person
	  doesn't mind having it handed out, this userid will check into it
	  beforehand and reply via mail.

Swarthmore:
        All Students/Faculty/Staff: FLLLLLLN@cc.swarthmore.edu, where
		F is the user's first initial, and LLLLLL is the first six
		letters of their last name.  A '1' (one) is appended in most
		cases, though for duplicates the number is incremented.
                To find people, send mail to postmaster. You can also 
		finger people by their last name.

        CS: Usually, lastname@cs.swarthmore.edu

	[The following is the old info, which still holds for some people:
	 All Students: xxxYY@swat.swarthmore.edu, where xxx is the
		student's initials, YY the year of graduation.
		In case of duplicates, extra "x" are added between
		the initials and year. If there are triplicates, they
		keep on adding x's. You can also use
		campus.swarthmore.edu (swarthmr.bitnet). If they have
		no middle name, use "_" instead of the middle initial.
		To find people, send mail to postmaster.
	 Faculty and staff have usernames as their last names on
	 campus.swarthmore.edu.]

Texas A&M University:

	All students can have an account on a VAX cluster, a heterogeneous
	set of UNIX boxes, or a VM/CMS machine. Probably less than
	30% of the student body (40K students) takes advantage of this. The
	format of the usernames is FML#### where fml are the initials and ####
	is the last four digits of the SSN.  If a student has no middle
	initial then '0' (Zero) is used.  These domain is "tamu.edu" and the
	machine could be any of several choices like venus, rigel, summa,
	sigma, etc.
		General Unix: 		tamuts.tamu.edu, tamaix.tamu.edu,
					tamsun.tamu.edu
		General VAX/VMS: 	zeus.tamu.edu, venus.tamu.edu, 
					summa.tamu.edu, sigma.tamu.edu,
					rigel.tamu.edu
                General VM/CMS:         tamvm1.tamu.edu

	Finding addresses:
		Try fingering lastname@tamsun.tamu.edu or lastname@tamu.edu.
		(tamu.edu uses ph, the CSO Nameserver)

	The computer science department's domain is "cs.tamu.edu".  The
	statistics dept is "stat.tamu.edu".  The username format on these
	machines is usually fffffffl or flllllll.  Some old accounts may have
	first names or last names only.
	The math department's domain is math.tamu.edu.

	There are about a million other departmental machines with varying
	names but I believe they are all in the form "xxx.tamu.edu".

Trinity College (Hartford CT):
	Students: VAX1.TRINCOLL.EDU (trincc.vax.bitnet)
	Ths is a VMS machine, but it supports finger.

Tufts University:
	tufts.edu, tufts.bitnet

Univ. of Aalborg: @iesd.auc.dk

Univ. of Akron:
	
	Academic Machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad
		vax1.cc.uakron.edu (vax, so finger works)
		vm1.cc.uakron.edu (vms, so finger doesn't work) 
		vm1 is also known as akronvm.bitnet
	Most students and faculty have accounts on either of these machines.
	Usernames are usually r1 for faculty, r2 for graduate
	students, and r3 for undergrads, followed by first, middle,
	and last initials. (If the student doesn't have a middle
	initial it is omitted.) Naming conflicts are resolved by
	adding a digit to the end of the userid (e.g., 1, 2, ... 9).

	for example: mine is r2sk9@vax1.cc.uakron.edu...

	Engineering Machines: Grad, undergrad
		file01.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
		file02.ecgf.uakron.edu (unix, but no fingering)
	Userid's normally begin with the first two letters of the
	person's major (el = electrical, me = mechanical) followed by
	4 digits to make 6 digit userid. Undergrads are given id's of
	form bsxxxx. 

	Math Department machines: Faculty, Grad, Undergrad
		vonneuman.cs.uakron.edu (unix and fingering works)
	Only math students or students enrolled in courses offered by
	math dept have accounts. finger works with first,lastnames or
	userid's. 

	userid's for grads and faculty are by their last names.
	undergrads and class accounts begin with sun followed by three
	digits making 6 letter userid. 

	Mechanical Engineering Machines: Grad,faculty
	Any grad engineering student can have an account. 
	Finger doesn't work for these machines.
		starshine.mech.uakron.edu
		sunshine.mech.uakron.edu  
		moonshine.mech.uakron.edu 
	Userid's are first names.

Univ. of Alabama at Huntsville:

	Domain:  uah.edu 
	         asn.net (asnuah.asn.net)
	
	School of Engineering: xxx..x@ebs330.eb.uah.edu
	CS dept : xxx..x@uahcs2.cs.uah.edu
	Math dept: xxx.x@sun3.math.uah.edu
	Grad std/Research : xxx.x@asnuah.asn.net
                    
Univ. of Alabama at Tuscaloosa:

	Domain: ua.edu
	College of Engineering: flastname@buster.eng.ua.edu 
        Seebeck Computing Center: flllllln@ua1vm.ua.edu, where n is 1 for
		an undergraduate, 3 for a graduate student, and black for
		faculty/staff
	Others: cs.ua.edu, asncray.asc.edu etc.
	Help: postmaster@ua1vm.ua.edu

Univ. of Arizona:

	Undergraduates are not routinely given computer accounts.  If an
	undergrad has an account, it is almost certainly a single-semester one
	on the cluster ccit.arizona.edu for a specific class.  The username is
	in the format:

			Lxxxxyyyy
	L= first letter of last name
	xxxx = last four digits of student ID number (usually SSN)
	yyyy = last four digits of course sequence number

	This cluster is also known as "violet" and "skyblu", depending on who 
	you talk to.  These are actually nodes in the larger cluster.

	Ccit.arizona.edu serves all those who don't have their own computers,
	which is almost everyone.  If you're looking for someone who's an
	undergrad, send polite mail to postmaster@ccit.arizona.edu.  You MUST
	know their first and last names, the college they're in, and whether
	they're a grad or undergrad.  They forward that message to the
	customer accounts office, which calls the user, and asks if it's ok to
	give out their username.  So using the phone is better.

	Many faculty and staff are also 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; ask root.
	Undergrads in Engineering are on a cluster of Suns; ask
	system@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 (i.e.,
	RReagan) @mis.arizona.edu with very good success.

	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.  However,
	postmaster@Arizona.EDU is an unusually helpful person, and extremely
	polite mail sent to him may result in an answer.

Univ. of Atlanta: @auc.UUCP

University of Calgary
        General (Students/Faculty): @acs.ucalgary.ca
	CS students/faculty: @cpsc.ucalgary.ca
	for all faculty,  staff,  grads,  undergrads
	- often last name, or first name, or initials. or last name
	followed by initials. 

Univ. of California/Berkeley: Many different accounts on many machines. 
	Undergraduates in General: ocf.berkeley.edu
	Faculty, staff, and graduate students can also get accounts on
	ocf.berkeley.edu.

	Undergrad CS/EE, 1st Year Grad: cory.berkeley.edu (This is for
	undergrad juniors and seniors and first year graduate
	students. Most other graduate students have their own
	workstations. For freshmen and sophomores, one must look for a
	class account or ocf public cluster. Undergrads now have to
	pay for accounts on cory, so fewer people will be using it.)
	First Year Graduate CS students: try cory.berkeley.edu or
	xcssun.berkeley.edu. antipodes.berkeley.edu

	CS Faculty, Grads, Staff: cs.berkeley.edu (aliases mail address)
	CS Grad Students: snake.cs.berkeley.edu
		Good systems to try are (all .cs.berkeley.edu
		or .berkeley.edu) sprite, harmony, sequoia, larch,
		robotics, postgres, and ginger.
		tenet.icsi.berkeley.edu also has some CS grad students on 
		it.  Many machines in the department are now
		foo.cs.berkeley.edu, but not all are.
	EE Faculty: esvax, ic, cad, or a workstation

	Janus will be going away soon, as will ucbarpa.  Many csgrads will
	have mail aliases on cs.berkeley.edu, which will eventually support
	finger.  Systems to try for grad students are (all .berkeley.edu):
	sprite, harmony, sequoia, yew, larch, robotics, postgres, and ginger.
	Soon, these will be moved into the cs.berkeley.edu subdomain instead
	of berkeley.edu subdomain (ie, you'd finger @sprite.cs.berkeley.edu).
	This will happen soon, but hasn't happened yet.

	Names for the above accounts are usually, but not always,
	combinations of the user's real first, middle and last names
	and/or initials. However, finger will search the "real name"
	field as well as the account name.

	There are many class accounts (which all students get). These
	are found on web.berkeley.edu,bard.berkeley.edu, and
	xcssun.berkeley.edu.  
	zooey, buddy, franny, and seymour too, except they're being
	retired. Danube, amazon, congo, po, and volga and a cluster of stars
	(named after stars) are supposed to be the replacements. 
	web and buddy hold classes that freshmen and sophomores often take.
	seymour and franny are often used for classes for business majors. 

	Class account usernames are typically cnnn-mxx or ennn-mxx, where
	'c' or 'e' denotes CS or EE, nnn is the course number, m is the
	section number (not always used), and xx are two letters.

	Statistics class accounts are of the form s#xxxx, where # is
	the class number and xxxx is some string of alphabetic characters.
	These accounts live on gandalf.berkeley.edu. Statistics
	cluster computers are named after Tolkien characters.

	qal.berkeley.edu is used for courses in "practical computer use"
	(taught by the anthropology department).  Account names are
	193xxx, where xxx is the last name of the user.

	Math (Graduate and Faculty): math.berkeley.edu 
	Stat Department: stat.berkeley.edu
	Physics Grads and Undergrads: physics.berkeley.edu
	Mech. E Profs & Grads: euler.berkeley.edu, tycho.berkeley.edu
	Public Cluster (some undergrads): ocf.berkeley.edu
	School of Education:  soe.berkeley.edu
	Other machines to try: ucbvax.berkeley.edu  

	garnet.berkeley.edu and violet.berkeley.edu are the most
	likely place for a pay-for-use account. Some departments
	maintain accounts on these machines for faculty, though,
	so these machines are the place to try for faculty affiliated
	with departments that have no real computing facilities.
	Almost anyone on campus can pay for an account on these machines.

	Some of the class accounts are also on congo. Generally
	addresses for the first semester classes are:
	CS 60A - c60a-__@danube
	CS 3 - c3-1a__@amazon or c3-1b__@congo

	postmaster@nettlesome.berkeley.edu should be considered as a last
	choice when looking from someone electronically. 

Univ. of California/Davis: 
	@ucdavis.edu -- works if you know their account name
	   userids are of the form fmlllll.
	@clover.ucdavis.edu -- works for anyone in the CS department
		whois -h ucdavis.edu <name>
	CS: First.Last@cs.ucdavis.edu
	Engineering/CS: First.Last@ee.ucdavis.edu 
			or First.Last@eecs.ucdavis.edu

Univ. of California/Irvine:
	CS Undergrads: bonnie.ics.uci.edu
	    Mail sometimes restricted; policy has changed several times.
	    Userid usually FLLLLLLL (8 char max); sometimes FFFFFFFL.
	CS Grads/Staff/Faculty: ics.uci.edu
	    Faculty userids are usually their last names, sometimes
	    initials, a few firstname only.  Grads usually FLLLLLLL,
	    some lastname only.  Staff sometimes firstname, sometimes lastname.
	Other departments: mostly grads; userids usually lastname.
	   Biology dept: sanger.bio.uci.edu
	   EE: balboa.eng.uci.edu
	   Physics dept: skid.ps.uci.edu
	   Social sciences: ss.uci.edu
	Try fingering fname-lname@XX.uci.edu (for XX=ics,sanger.bio, etc.)

	There are two types of accunts on orion.oac.uci.edu:
	(1) Staff in the Office of Academic Computing
	(2) Students
	Staff userids on orion are usually FLLLLLLL, 8 char max.  The student
	accounts on orion are different, though.  Any student can get an orion
	account, but not a lot do.  The userids for these accounts are seven
	characters as follows: first "ea", then two characters representing
        major and grad vs. undergrad status, respectively, 
	(e.g., i = information & computer science, u = undergrad),
	then three random digits.  Non-staff orion users tend to use
	their accounts infrequently because of usage limits.

Univ. of California/Los Angeles (UCLA):
	CS: @cs.ucla.edu @oahu.cs.ucla.edu
      MATH: @math.ucla.edu, @sonia.math.ucla.edu, @oak.math.ucla.edu
		(graduate students, staff, faculty)
	EE grads & faculty: ee.ucla.edu (network of RTs and SUNs
	   running unix. Each machine has the name of a famous
	   engineer:  watt.ee.ucla.edu, joule.ee.ucla.edu, etc)
	   Usernames vary; try fname, lastname,...
	AGSM: @agsm.ucla.edu  @uclagsm
	      (Anderson Graduate School of Management)
	      All of students , staffs and faculty have their user ID.
	      User ID: FLLLLLLL (max 8 characters)
	Class Accounts: pic.ucla.edu (PIC = program in computing)
	   These get cleared every quarter. Account names are usually
	   the course number followed by three letters chosen by the student.
	   If you finger @laguna.pic.ucla.edu, you get more detailed
	   info, such as when the user last logged on, etc.
	Engineering: seas.ucla.edu  This is a server for a network for
	   the school of engineering and applied sciences. Any engineering
	   graduate student can get an account on it, and many undergrads
	   have accounts on it for classes. This machine has access to
	   USENET.
	Anybody: oac.ucla.edu  An IBM 3090.  Anyone in UCLA can get an
	   open access account on this to send mail, etc.  Account
	   names on this machine are terribly cryptic (such as IZZYR33). 

Univ. of California/Santa Cruz:
	Undergrads: ucscb.ucsc.edu
	Other hosts include ucsc{c-e,o}.ucsc.edu, ucscvm.ucsc.edu, etc. 
	All these hosts (except for ucscb) are on bitnet as the first
	part of their domain name.
	A new host, cats.ucsc.edu, has been added as the mail address
	for UCSC's version of Athena. Users can be fingered by username,
	first name, or last name. Undergrads, grads, faculty, and
	some staff may have accounts on cats.  Users choose their own
	IDs, so you must use finger to get an account name.

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 Chicago:
	Undergraduates: midway.uchicago.edu (formerly tank.uchicago.edu)
	  (midway.uchicago.edu serves as a mail server for machines
	  named quads.uchicago.edu and ellis.uchicago.edu. When midway
	  refuses connections, finger at quad or ellis.)	
	Grads and faculty may also be on quads and ellis.
	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 (including engineering)	
	cecux1.cec.uchile.cl, uchcecvm.bitnet
	All students that have a class involving computers get an account on
	cecux1.cec.uchile.cl
	Computer Science (Departamento Ciencia de la Computacion)
	dcc.uchile.cl, anakana.dcc.uchile.cl, uchdcc.dcc.uchile.cl
	Professors, Researchers, and grad students of Computer Science
	tortel.dcc.uchile.cl

Univ. of Colorado/Boulder:
	tramp.colorado.edu, 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
