An easier way is to telnet to mis.ans.net and login as 'archie'. Once connected

Newsgroups:   alt.internet.services

Hi all,

      I have a friend who claims that it is possible to find out information
(address, SS#, telephone #, drivers license #, police records, etc...) about
anybody by dialing up certain government agencies (such as the DMV).  Is this
correct?  Can _anybody_ do this?  Isn't there some kind of privacy violation
taking place here?

      If this is possible, how?  Does anyone know the numbers?  Has anyone
ever done this?

Sorry to sound so nosey, but I'm rather curious.

I'm pretty sure there is not, but I do not know Bitnet for sure.
However, there is definitely no way to telnet to a Bitnet machine
directly from the Internet.

The "%" signifies a forwarding address.  The gateway, CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU,
receives the mail, and then translates "USERNAME%UTCVM.BITNET" to
"USERNAME@UTCVM.BITNET" and sends it via bitnet.

Organization: Bunyip Information Systems (the archie people)
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 1992 16:33:43 GMT



----------< archie server down at McGill >---------------

This is just a quick note to let people know that the
volunteer archie server we have been using at the School
of Computer Science at McGill appears to have died and we
don't know when it will be coming back up. It appears to
have suffered a hardware failure and we don't know when,
or if it will be repaired. We don't have access to the
machine room where the machine is located and are waiting
to hear from School staff on the status of the problem.

This machine has been made available from the beginning
through the good graces of the School of Computer Science
at McGill, but unfortunately it has not been covered by a
service contract (it was basically a spare workstation
that has been available on a "best-effort" basis). We are
now negotiating with the university to see if there is
another machine we can use.  Alternatively, we might be
able to get the original machine fixed, if we can find
someone willing to help with the expense.

This is not an insurmountable loss for users of archie, as
there are now a number of other archie servers available,
all offering better performance and reliability (see list
below).

In any event, with the introduction of archie 3.0 we had
already planned to convert the McGill server to be the
pilot for a another new service we are developing (an
automated directory service based upon the new release of
archie). If you have been using the McGill archie for your
anonymous FTP searches, this is probably a good time to
get familiar with one of the other anonymous FTP archie
servers.

Sorry for any inconvenience this interruption may have
caused. We will post more details as soon as we have
additional information.

No problem with Compuserve.  With GEnie it's a problem.... it can be
done, but the GEnie subscriber has to pay a monthly fee of about $10
in order to recieve Internet mail.  I'm not sure whether they can send
without the fee.

Your friend will need two things:  access to his or her Fido system's
net-mail area (many sysops only allow this to people who send in a nominal
fee) and the Fido address of the nearest Fido/UUCP gateway (assuming he or she
has access to net-mail, the sysop should be able to provide the address).

Then, address a message to UUCP (NOT the person they want to reach).  When
asked for the node number, type in the gateway node number.  The first
line of the actual message should be

         To:  name@internet.address

Follow this by a blank line and then the actual message.  Note that all
this means you may not be able to reply to a message gated from Internet
directly -- what's needed is a whole new message.

 Or, if you want instant gratification, throw together a little program
like the following. (And I do mean throw together, this one will dump
core if you don't put a host name on the command line... Fix it up
yourselves if you're interested.) Runs on SunOS 4.1.2, and probably others. 

 I had a little trouble figuring out how to print the IP addresses,
but it seems to work. Does anyone know why when I give it the name of a

Whois "University of Southern Mississippi" gives the domain as USM-DOM.
Doing a domain query gives the following two domain servers:
   SUN1.MCSR.OLEMISS.EDU        130.74.128.4
   SAM.CS.OLEMISS.EDU           130.74.96.17
