To send e-mail to a CompuServe user from the Internet get theur
user-number and change the comma to a period, then:

	9999.999@compuserve.com

For GEnie it's alittle tricky - not all their users can receive
Internet mail - they have to pay extra.

GENIE =         user@genie.geis.com
--------------------------------------------------

Here are some examples of e-mail addressing schemes to other sites:

America Online  username@aol.com

Applelink =     usernumber@applelink.apple.com
                D12345@applelink.apple.com

Peacenet =      username@igc.org
Econet =        username@igc.org
Homeonet =      username@igc.org

BITNET =        username@system.bitnet  e.g.: john@hujivms.bitnet

Compuserve:     nnnnn.nnnn@compuserve.com

                NOTE: Compuserve user ID's have a comma - change that
                      to a period.

MCI Mail =      username@mcimail.com
            or  0001234567@mcimail.com

                NOTE:  MCImail customers have a user number, add
                       enough zeros to the left of the number to make
                       it 10 digits.  The user number is more
                       reliable than their name.

EIES =          username@eies.njit.edu

GENIE =         user@genie.geis.com

                NOTE:  Genie users have to pay extra to arrange
                to receive e-mail from the Internet. If you
                believe you have the right address but it is not
                getting through, try contacting your party through
                some other means (telephone etc) and ask them to
                chewck with GEnie management.

DASNET =        username:domainName@maps.das.net
            or  username@domainName.das.net

                (domainName is their DASNET domain name)

Portal =        username@portal.com

FIDONet =       Lets say you wanted to send mail to Dale Weber at
                1:105/55.0, you would address your letter to
                ^  ^  ^
                |  |  |
                |  | Fido
                | Node
               Zone

                dale.weber@f55.n105.z1.fidonet.org

                If that address doesn't work, try sending e-mail to Tim
                Pozar here on the WELL:  (pozar)

Remember that off-site e-mail often goes through several sites before it gets
to it's destination.  The best way to make sure it got through is to ask the
addressee to send an acknowledgement.  If you have trouble with an e-mail
message to an off-site location try posting a question in the
Usenet or Telecom conferences - include any error mesage you got if possible.

If you have domain-lookup abilities, look up freenet-in-a.cwru.edu.

What is gopher?  I know how to telnet and ftp, but I have no idea
what gopher is.

ferg@cup.portal.com

     While playing around with a gopher the other day (which conjures
up truly revolting images) I came across a service which I think is 
pretty neat.  I may be the last person to find out about this, but
I'm going to post it anyway, just in case someone else is interested.
Several books and other information, specifically for some unknown reason,
agricultural data, are available by emailling to: almanac@oes.orst.edu.
In your first email, send in the text sections the following:

send guide
send catalog
send etext catalog

Turn around is way fast and there's lots of stuff to check out.  Like I said,
pretty neat.
My thanks to the group or institution that has made this available.

I agree that the potential for these tools is great, and that the
tradeoff is not too significant when the false hit ratio is only 10 to
1 or so.  However, the other problems Daniel mentions in his post
create much more difficulty for most Internet users.  Many people have
accounts which they do not use.  Some people have multiple accounts.
The X.500 servers are by no means even close to complete as far as
e-mail addresses.

My belief is that the future will bring a very easy-to-use address
query mechanism based on X.500 or something like it, which will allow
anyone to find anyone else's e-mail address reliably with a minimum of effort.
But for now no such service exists for most sites/people.  I stand by
my original response (although not its admittedly arrogant tone) --
the only truly reliable address finder is AT&T.

Which doesn't stop me from wasting lots of time looking for friends'
addresses.  As long as you don't expect reliability and do expect to
expend a bit of effort, you can actually find quite a bit.

Telnet to info.umd.edu and log in as gopher.  You'll get a main menu, and
one of the choices will be for presidential policy papers or some such. 
You can search the Democratic and Republican (no Libertarian or Ego, uh,
Perot positions yet) by keyword, or you can scan through a list of
policies.  Since it's a gopher, you can tell the system to e-mail you a
copy of whatever you read.

Alternately, ftp to nptn.org.  In a subdirectory called Campaign.92 (it's
off the pub directory, but I can't remember if there's something between
pub and Campaign.92, sorry), you'll find Rep., Dem. and Libertarian
papers.  You'll need to get the indexes for each, since the files
themselves have such names as B103.TXT.

I'd like to know what kind of services they have available and maybe
how much int costs and anything you can give me.  Also, is there anyway

Any help would be appreciated.  Please send e-mail since I don't read

My guess is that this is _far_ too ambitious a request.  The problem
is simple:  The Internet is INCREDIBLY huge.  There are thousands and
thousands of SITES out in netland, let alone the thousands of
individual machines that could be hooked up at a single site.  The
fact that there are any "e-mail finding services" at all are news to me;
I would suspect that these are the very best that the Internet has to
offer.

So with that in mind, I will offer you the easiest, simplest e-mail
address finder there is.

1. Pick up your phone.
2. Call the person you are trying to find. (If you don't have their
phone number either, 1-XXX-555-1212 should help, where XXX is their
area code).
3. Ask them their e-mail address.

Any other method of finding an e-mail address requires a lot of work
and patience, with no guarantees.

who might be interested in getting some help on the internet.  Unless this
concept of dialing directory assistance is a totally new concept for YOU,
then the only point to this post must have been to be a smart-aleck.  I   
hope you and your pals at Stanford got a real big kick at your entry into
the comedy business.

    As for everyone who sent me sincere assistance for finding an email
address, I extend my equally sincere thanks.

Jim
