I see that you are on INTERNET but for those of you on a VAX on BITNET you could try: SEND/COMMAND MSU CPQ NAMES and if they allow interactive queries the NODE "MSU" should return you the names of the people on line at that particular moment. You could try and substitute FINFUN for MSU and you will get the names of the people on the Finnish computer FINFUN. If I know a NODE I can usually find out who is on that machine and I can have a CHAT with them by doing SEND USERID@NODE and ask them to help me out in getting in contact with someone. I recently had an interesting CHAT session with Prof. Bruce Roe in the US. In the IBM world the equivilent command would be TELL USERID AT NODE. You can then exchange one line messages over BITNET.

I missed the first post, that is, the query, but a number of small colleges in Michigan have bitnet nodes as well (you can access bitnet from internet via several gateways; the cuny one probably gets the heaviest traffic). For example, Albion College has the imaginative nodename "ALBION". I would guess that if the college name is eight characters or less, that's a good stab in the dark for a nodename (e.g. CALVIN, HOPE, ADRIAN). Hope this is at least sort of on topic.... :-) Josh Hayes, Zoology Department, Miami University, Oxford OH 45056 voice: 513-529-1679 fax: 513-529-6900 jahayes@miamiu.bitnet, or jahayes@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu Now look inside; what do you see? That's easy: that's a pickle.
