The response to my query has been astounding (at least to me). If people are interested, I can try to summarize for the list when I get some time, maybe next week (although final exams are near). Thanks! -Don-

Here is the summary of responses on electronic-mail "white-pages"
directories that I promised. I've tried the CSNET and ARPAnet stuff,
and they seemed to work OK for me.
CSNET: info courtesy milazzo@cmu-cs-g
Telnet to CSNET-SH and login as "ns" (no password) to run the CSNET
Name Server. Contact CIC@CSNET-CIC for details.
"help" will list interesting commands.
"whois user" will display NameServer entry of "user".
"site list" will list all of the CSNet member sites.
"quit" will get you out of ns.
ARPAnet, MILnet, DDN: info courtesy zellich@office-3,roode@sri-nic,

Read the ARPAnet Directory, ARPAnet Resource Handbook publications
Telnet to SRI-NIC and type NIC; this runs NIC-Query, an interactive
program to search the NIC database. [Reminiscent of ITS info].
Telnet to SRI-NIC and type WHOIS, which looks up people in the NIC
database. [A lot like finger]. WHOIS can also be run on your own
machine; versions for Tenex, TOPS-20, and Unix are available from
NIC@SRI-NIC. The "nicname" program works similarly, and is also
available from NIC@SRI-NIC. See RFC812, which you get by FTP'ing
<RFC>RFC812.TXT from SRI-NIC with ANONYMOUS login.
