Alternatively, some systems don't provide NSLookup because it eats
resources and (some think) constitutes a security risk.  Sometimes such
sites provide the more limited host command:

8:46am,hemlock,[~]% host camis.stanford.edu
camis.stanford.edu has address 36.44.0.7

Over the Internet no, because I have only a dial-up connection to it, but

Something like, you mail a request for a page:

channel=bbc1

subpage=0
ascii_filter=yes

Or something like that, tell me what you would like.

However since I have to pay overseas mail it might be restricted to the UK.

Many UNIX machines provide a tool called 'nslookup' which gets the required
information from the Domain Name System which you can imagine as a distributed
database of IP addresses. If you request the IP address for camis.stanford.edu
and your local server doesn't know about it, it will contact the root server
for the edu-domain asking it for help. This server then passes the request
to the name server for Stanford University, which then should be able to
send back the required information. But to answer your question :-) :
- the address is 36.44.0.7
- to solve the problem in general, use either nslookup or (quoting the FAQ):
 -IP Address Resolver   mail resolve@cs.widener.edu
                        mail dns@grasp.insa-lyon.fr  (body of letter: help)
   usage: in body-of-letter: site <address here>  Mails you IP address of site.
