And, for systems on the Internet (like ns.network.com :-) ) use the callbook server at marvin.cs.buffalo.edu, or it's evil twin, ham.njit.edu. The 'name' command 'name Murray' will find all Murrays, and using the -f <firstname> filter should reduce that to a reasonable list (unless you're looking for a "John Smith"). So: ftp marvin.cs.buffalo.edu 2000 >> name -f <first> <last> -- *Standard Disclaimers Apply*| ---Get Out Of HELL Free!--- John R.
