9.0  WHOIS - E-mail white pages

   WHOIS is a program available on many workstation/mini/mainframe
   computers that can connect to another computer. By supplying a
   persons name, it will respond with information it has on the person.
   A similar program called finger does the same type of thing, except
   it only supplies information on individuals with an account on that
   specific computer.  Whois generally is operating on a database
   containing most of the individuals at the university, not just on the
   machine you connect.

   The following is a list of universities that have a whois service
   working.  It is not, by any means exhaustive, and I would be
   interested in knowing about others that may exist so I can add to
   this list.

   9.1  The Ohio State University

      Telnet to osu.edu or
      Use Whois command whois -h osu.edu
      Enter firstname.lastname
      Example: whois -h osu.edu jerry.smith

   9.2  University of Oregon

      Use Whois command whois -h oregon.uoregon.edu
      Enter firstname.lastname
      Example: whois -h oregon.uoregon.edu Rose.Smith

   9.3  University of Virginia

      Use Whois command whois -h whois.virginia.edu
      Enter lastname, firstname middlename
      Example: whois -h whois.virginia.edu Smith, John James

   9.4  University of Pennsylvania

      Use Whois command whois -h whois.upenn.edu
      Enter lastname, firstname
      Example: whois -h whois.upenn.edu Smith, Judy

12.0  Glossary

      I use some concepts here that may not be familiar to all.  The
      following is a brief explanation of some of the concepts.

   12.1  BITNET:

      A network of normally mini or mainframe computers.  BITNET
      connects many universities and colleges together.  It provides
      e-mail and file transfer capabilities.  It does not have the
      ability to do remote login (Telnet sessions).

   12.2  Internet:

      A very large network that connects just about any type of
      computer together.  It supports e-mail, file transfer (FTP), and
      remote login (Telnet).

   12.3  Anonymous FTP:

      The ability to transfer a file from a remote computer connected
      to Internet without having an account on the remote computer.
      The program that performs the file transfer is normal FTP.  To
      connect to a remote computer offering anonymous FTP you can use
      the following commands from a computer connected to Internet:

      FTP Internet computer name
      When prompted for a userid:  type anonymous
      When prompted for a password type your e-mail address
      To get a listing of files type dir
      To change directory type cd directory name
      To get a file type get filename
      To get a binary file type binary then get filename
      To end session type quit

      Example:
      FTP pilot.njin.net
      Username:  anonymous
      Password:  [e-mail]
      cd pub/ftp-list
      get ftp.list
      quit

   12.4  Telnet:

      The ability to establish a connection to a remote computer
      connected to the Internet network.  There are two types of
      programs that are used to do this.  One, normally referred to as
      Telnet, normally establishes a VT100 type terminal emulation to
      the remote computer.  The second, TN3270, establishes a full
      screen IBM 3270 type terminal connection.

   12.5  Listserv:

      A program available on many BITNET connected computers that can
      act as a mail forward system and as a file repository.  BITNET is
      another network that links many colleges and universities
      together.  It does not normally link to military or government
      institutions as does the Internet.  To subscribe to a listserv,
      you normally send mail to the machine which has the mailing list
      with the command to subscribe.  As an example, to subscribe to a
      list for discussion of topics pertinent to Mechanical Engineering,
      you would send e-mail to listserv@utarlvml with the content of the
      message containing the one line command to subscribe:

      SUB MECH-1 John Doe  (Where John Doe would be your full name)

      The document "Interest Groups" listed below contains the list of
      the majority of these lists that you can subscribe.

Disclaimer

   The information provided in the previous sections has been put
   together from multiple sources acquired from the network.  Much of it
   came from reading newsgroups and trying things out to see how they
   worked.  The information is as accurate as I have been able to
   determine, as of December 5, 1991.

   I used a DEC5500 system running Ultrix to check most of these
   sources.  Most of the information is oriented toward Internet, since
   it has the ability to remote login (Telnet) and File Transfer (FTP).

Security Considerations

   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
