Version: 3.33
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 Institute Of Mining And Technology:
Try finger name@nmt.edu or finger name@jupiter.nmt.edu. Jupiter is
the main server; CS students generally have accounts on
minos.nmt.edu. Accounts generally seem to be of the form FLLLLLLL.
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.)
New York University (NYU)
Addresses for students at NYU are fml####@acfcluster.nyu.edu, where f,
m, l are first, middle, last initials and #### are the last four
digits of the social security number. All students and staff can get
limited mail accounts by requesting them. Some users have nicknames:
lastname, or lllllf, or lllllff.
North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Whois server on gyro.cc.ncsu.edu also accepts requests via finger.
All whois entries have Snail addresses, some have e-mail.
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
North Dakota Network
This section describes how to find email addresses for students who
attend Public Colleges and Universities in North Dakota.
ND HECN PLAINS (@plains.bitnet) -or- (@plains.nodak.edu)
This is a Unix system. All userids are given out according to last
name or possibly a first initial added in front. You are able to
finger these accounts.
ND HECN CMS (@ndsuvm1.bitnet) -or- (@vm1.nodak.edu)
This is a VM/SP (CMS) system. Userids are a bit more complicated here...
The ND HECN (No-Dak Higher Education Computer Network) consists of the
following schools.. Their 2-letter school code follows.
Bismarck State College (BJ) North Dakota State University (NU)
University of North Dakota (UD) Dickinson State College (DS)
Williston State College (WS) Bottineau State College (BT)
Lake Region Community College (LR) Valley City State College (VC)
Mayville State College (MV) Minot State College (MN)
State School of Science (SS)
Userids given out prior to (approximately) August 1991 are assigned a
userid according to the following: Userids are in the form of
LL######. LL is the "School Code" (see above). The #'s are the first
6 digits of the user's NAID number.
Userids given out after August 1991 are assigned according to last
name, or with part of their first name in front if the account is
already taken. They are trying to give you the same userid as your
plain's id (if you have one). Also, people with the 'old id' can
request to have their account renamed to the new format. You are able
to finger accounts on ndsuvm1, but as of 02-26-92 student names are
not yet available to finger. (It will tell you if the account at least
exists tho). Faculty/Staff names are available to finger. Each
college has an 'administrative' account with the form LL0ADMIN. (LL =
School Code). I don't know if they will give out userids, but it's
worth a try.
UND School of Medicine: try First.Last@medicine.und.nodak.edu for
staff and faculty; no student accounts as of Fall 1992. For help
finding someone, try 'finger' or contact
postmaster@medicine.und.nodak.edu
Northeastern: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Finger name@lynx.dac.northeastern.edu where <name> is a first-name,
last-name, or username. All students, faculty, staff, and alumni
can have accounts, but they have to be requested.
Student usernames are usually flllllll, but many students pick there
own variations. Many students never log in again once their class
is through.
Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA)
You can use any of the following ways to locate people at Northern
Arizona University. If one doesn't work, try the next. NOTE: not
everyone at NAU has an electronic mailbox.
1. finger PERSON@info.nau.edu
where PERSON is any part of a person's name that you know. You may
have to use quotes, as in: finger "Jane Doe"@info.nau.edu. This is a
"white pages" style database. For more help on this system: finger
@info.nau.edu
2. mail FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME@nau.edu
where FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME are the person you're trying to reach.
You may need to specify FIRSTNAME.MIDDLEINITIAL.LASTNAME
3. send mail to the site postmaster: mail postmaster@nau.edu
Some subdomains have postmasters e.g. postmaster@cse.nau.edu for
the Computer Science and Engineering department.
Northern Illinois University (DeKalb, IL) Created: Mon Jul 5 1993
Encore MultiMax (mp.cs.niu.edu). CSCI students may have accounts on
this UNIX-based machine if their classes require it. Class accounts
are of the form 'T90nnnn' where 'nnnn' is a randomly-assigned
four-digit number. Undergraduate and graduate TA's may have
accounts of the form 'T90fml1', where f=first initial, m=middle
initial, and l=last initial. Substitute the letter 'X' for a
missing middle initial. Older TA's may have an '8' or '9'
substituted for the '1'. Students who work for Academic Computing
Services, or are of a major other than CSCI, may also have accounts.
Use 'finger' for more info.
CSCI LAN (csci.niu.edu) All CSCI faculty members and some graduate
students have accounts on this Novell LAN of the form 'T90fml1',
same as above.
Amdahl 5890 (vm.cso.niu.edu) CSCI students may have accounts on this
mainframe running MVS and VM if their classes require it. Class
accounts are of the form 'T90nnnn', same as above. All TA's have an
account of the form 'T90fml1'.
Northwestern: Changed: Tue Feb 23 1993
General e-mail services are shared by casbah.acns.nwu.edu
(129.105.113.52) and merle.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.57). Merle is
in full production as of the beginning of 1993, although there are
not yet that many accounts on it. This will change. Both Casbah
and Merle support finger requests.
If you have access to a PH electronic database client, you can use
ns.nwu.edu for a ph-nameserver. Users must personally register an
e-mail address in this database for a query to provide one -- it is
not done automatically. If you do not have access to a PH client,
the default PH-based address is <alias@nwu.edu> where the default
alias is f-lastname (first initial-last name). Many people choose
to remove the hyphen or replace the default alias with their
initials, or just about anything else. The default is a good thing
or any reason, PH responds with fairly
complete information, in plain english, including other possible
aliases, if there is a conflict.
Norwegian Institute of Technology: see University of Trondheim
Novosibirsk State Technical Univ.: Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Russia, Novosibirsk 630092, K. Marx Prospekt 20
Usernames can be hard to discover; postmaster@nstu.nsk.su is willing
to be helpful in tracking usernames.
Oakland University (Rochester, MI) Changed: Thu Mar 25 1993
Hosts: vela.acs.oakland.edu, argo.acs.oakland.edu
Many departments maintain their own systems but their users usually
have accounts on either vela or argo as well.
Userids: Students: FMlastname Faculty: Lastname
Finger: on vela, use any portion of the name. On argo, you can only
finger the userid.
Oberlin (Oberlin, Ohio): Changed: Tue Mar 30 1993
Many students and faculty have accounts on ocvaxa, which can be
reached as ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu. Administrative staff members have
accounts on ocvaxc, which can be reached as ocvaxc.cc.oberlin.edu.
This is an internet-only site.
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@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu
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
Oxford University (Oxford, England): Changed: Sat Mar 27 1993
Telnet to info.ox.ac.uk, which presents you with an online information
system, one of whose subsystems is an electronic mail directory
showing all authorized users who are willing to be so listed.
Host: vax.ox.ac.uk
Penn State Univ.: Changed: Wed Mar 24 1993
Domain: psu.edu
The Electronic Bulletin Board contains, among many other things, the
entire student, staff, and faculty directory. To use EBB, connect
to psuvm.psu.edu from an Internet-connected site using tn3270 (You
can also telnet to cac3270.psu.edu if you do not have a 3270
emulator, but will have to supply a terminal type). After the
initial logon screen appears, type the RETURN key and the screen
will clear. Type "ebb" and hit RETURN, and you will get 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.
Computer Science: cs.psu.edu (UNIX), crayola.cs.psu.edu (Ultrix)
Math: math.psu.edu
Pitzer College: Created: Sat Jul 3 1993
finger flllllll@pitvax.claremont.edu
Plymouth State College (Plymouth NH) Created: Mon Sep 6 1993
Faculty & staff: firstname.lastname@plymouth.edu
or flllllll@psc.plymouth.edu or fffffffffl@psc.plymouth.edu
Students: finger firstname@oz.plymouth.edu or finger
lastname@oz.plymouth.edu

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: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
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.
Usernames are usually FMLLLLLL, sometimes LLLLLLLL or FFFFFFFL
Purdue: Changed: Tue Jun 29 1993
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
dipproximately like this:
expert = low-level courses for non CS or EE majors, some CS courses
sage = more low-level courses, first semester CS
feserve = freshman engineering courses and some CS courses
sonata = some Math and CS courses
mentor = most other CS courses
Students not in one of these courses may still have an account on
expert or sage, since there are many smaller groups to which accounts
are issued. Also, any Purdue student may obtain a student personal
account on one of these machines.
Research users are found scattered around all the PUCC machines, but
speedy, rapid, and swift 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, and
students taking statistics courses. Some student personal accounts
are also on this machine 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.
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Faculty and staff: firstname.initial.lastname@queensu.ca.
Unfortunately you have to spell the name exactly as in the Personnel
records. This is an IBM mainframe machine with no Finger server.
Computing and Information Science: finger x@qucis.queensu.ca, where x
is lastname or firstname.
Reed College:
username@reed.edu, where username is of the form flllllll
Rice University (Houston, TX) Changed: Sat Jul 3 1993
Finger username@rice.edu, where name is firstname or lastname. This
is an online copy of the campus directory, giving surface address
and phone number (not e-mail address). Telephoning people is an
excellent and efficient way to find their e-mail addresses.
Owlnet accounts are provided for undergraduate and graduate engineers
and natural science students. Others are given accounts when needed
for a class, and then the accounts are deleted after the class is
over. Try finger name@owlnet.rice.edu (GNU finger daemon).
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 fllllnn, so John Smith is JSMIT00@ricevm1.rice.edu. Finger
name@ricevm1 works for some accounts but a negative response from it
is not definitive
Here's a small list of machines to try when searching for a user.
Try department machines frst for faculty, staff, and grad students,
and Owlnet first for undergrads. Append ".rice.edu" to these names.
Department Machine Names

finger lastname@rpi.edu to verify userid only.
but finger @rpi.edu doesn't yield any login information.
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT):
ritvax.bitnet
aaaXXXX@ritvax.isc.rit.edu, where aaa is users initials, XXXX is last 4
digits of Social Security Number (SSN)
Computer Science: aaaXXXX@cs.rit.edu. Sometimes anaXXXX where
n appears literally and means "no middle initial". Profs'
accounts omit the XXXX.
Rumour has it that some UNIX accounts on other machines within
the rit.edu domain use just last 4 digits of SSN, but recent
correspondents from RIT don't know of any such machines.
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.
Rowan College of New Jersey: Changed: Mon Sep 6 1993
(formerly Glassboro State College, renamed in 1993)
Below is a list of computers and who uses them. For help, send mail to
postmaster on whichever one seems the most appropriate. If you're not
sure, send it to postmaster@rowan.edu. For those with access to gopher
you can find current email info on our server. It includes most of the
electronic mail addresses on campus.
heroes.rowan.edu administrative departments, secretaries, some
faculty
saturn.rowan.edu Academic Computing, students, some faculty
elan.rowan.edu all School of Business faculty, students
irp.rowan.edu Institutional Research and Planning
gboro.rowan.edu Computer Science faculty, students
There is no on-line catalog of student e-mail addresses. If you send a
message to postmaster@rowan.edu you should get back the address (if
there is one) by the next business day.
Rutgers: Changed: Mon Jul 5 1993
Rutgers has a whitepages server, so you can do:
whois -h whitepages.rutgers.edu "fname lname"
to find email addresses. If the user has an email address it will
explicitly indicate "Email:". The "Userid" field is *NOT* an email
n email address has put it in the
directory.
Other ways to find email addresses at Rutgers: There are many
departmental machines, but these are a few common ones. Usernames
are usually "llllllll" but some are "fllllll" etc.
General Student: trident.usacs.rutgers.edu (New Bruns. undergrad (*)),
andromeda.rutgers.edu (Newark undergrad--all students),
draco.rutgers.edu (Newark grad--all students), clam.rutgers.edu
(Camden undergrad)

Student consultants: gandalf.rutgers.edu
McCormick Hall residents: dorm.rutgers.edu
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.
Saint Anselm College:
Students, Faculty, Staff: anselm!username@dartmouth.edu
Usernames are of the form flllllll, where f is the first letter of the
first name and lllllll are the first seven letters of the last name.
If a last name has less than 7 letters, the entire last name is used.
Saint Anselm College is a UUCP client of dartvax, the Dartmouth
College system. All news and email is fed via a data transmission
made twice daily (1am and 1pm).
San Diego State University:
