The PSI White Pages project is an ongoing project to provide the
electronic equivalent of a telephone book White Pages, using X.500
technology.  There are currently 77 organizations, with approximately
200 000 entries available in the PSI White Pages.

PSIWP is a front end to the White Pages, allowing searching of the
databases from a Macintosh.  For example, it is possible to issue the
following search

        levinn,psi,us

('Find ...' option in the 'WhitePages' pull down menu)

System requirements for using PSIWP are: Macintosh (MAC-II
recommended) with 1MB of memory, Finder 6.x (Finder 7.0 WILL NOT
WORK), and MacTCP.  Connectivity to the U.S.  TCP/IP Internet is also
required (PSIWP needs to establish a TCP connection to a White Pages
server).
