I have a section in my gopher (at gopher.msen.com) under "Selected
Internet Resources" that includes a bunch of pay-to-use operations; the
hope is to put in telnet-able links plus press releases or other more
lengthy things so that there's a phone number, the name of a person, etc.
List is kind of short as of yet but I'll add whatever in that I can find.

Oh well...I'd like to apologize publicly for the somewhat snotty tone
of my reply -- I agree, it was a bit uncalled for.  It's been a long
couple of weeks. :-)

However, I stand by the gist of my answer -- there really is no
reliable way to find addresses on the Internet, if you've already
tried the services you mentioned as well as the college email address
guide occasionally posted to news.answers and soc.college.  I just
want to make sure that people understand that the Internet is
sufficiently disorganized that there is no such thing as a truly reliable
netfind service.  Your post seemed to indicate that you had this
mistaken impression.

I do again apologize for the arrogant and snotty tone of my answer.
I'm usually not that bad, but this is a pet peeve of mine...Sorry.

There are a number of tools available on the internet to find a person's
email address, e.g., nri@reston.va.edu and bruno@somewhere.  I have found
them to be less than useful.  For example, in learning to use these, I tried
to find my email address.  Not until I practically gave my id and FQDN,
did I get back an email address...which kind of defeats the purpose.  Further,
the time spent answering questions and narrowing the computers search
domain is often wasted.  So...

What's the best email address finder that demands the least information to
get on the job out there?  Is there one where I can just give it the info
I have, leave my email address and let it plug and chug by itself, confident
that I will get a letter with my sought after's address?  Is this too ambitious
a request?

Replies appreciated,

If you are on a UNIX machine there may be a tool called
nslookup which may find the IP number for a given host 
(and vice versa).

This is what it produces for seinan-gu.ac.jp:

Default Server:  mailserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de
Address:  134.2.2.23

Non-authoritative answer:
seinan-gu.ac.jp	preference = 100, mail exchanger = jp-gate.wide.ad.jp
Authoritative answers can be found from:
jp-gate.wide.ad.jp	inet address = 133.4.1.1
ns.tisn.ad.jp	inet address = 133.11.11.12
> 


This shows (to my knowledge) that the address is not
directly reachable through the internet. Mail sent to
seinan-gu.ac.jp is routed through jp-gate.wide.ad.jp.

Hope that helps, Cornelius (correct me if I'm wrong).

If you know that the person you are looking for is an active Usenet user
you may try pit-manager.mit.edu. I have some trouble recalling the exact
details of the server, but you find these (and other helpful hints) in the
excellent FAQ file of J.A.Kames "How to find people's email adresses", which
is posted regularly in news.answers.

Another service many people are quite fond of is netfind (which is also
described in the file mentioned above). Netfind is a fancy way of
fingering someone, so you have to have a pretty good idea where to
find the person you are looking for.

What seems to be rarely known is that several US colleges operate servers
which will look up the email address of any college member. There is a
more detailed account on how to find people at US colleges which is
also regularly posted to news.answers.

Hope that helps, Cornelius.

this group has a lot of postings on dial-up access.

We would like to provide up-to-date data and EMail contact with as

the numerous educational resources of the internet.  But since very,
very few schools have this, then we need to assist the teachers in
gaining dial-up access through local colleges and organizations.  We
would like create as comprehensive directory as possible and will post
final results to the list.

If your organization has dial-up access, please EMAIL information,
such as organization, node, etc..., and a point of contact.  If you
would not like this list to go into the public domain, please also
note that in your message.  We will procede discretely.  We, and all
of the participants of the Joint Education Initiative will appreciate
any help on this matter.

I have a Cleveland Freenet account I hadn't accessed for several months

In the past two or three weeks I have attempted several times to telnet

Are these numbers still valid?  Am I just accessing very busy ports that
never get around to me before I am timed out?  (There's always a long
