   HOW DO I FIND SOMEONE'S INTERNET ADDRESS?
  ==========================================

  Broadly speaking, you either receive a message from someone in the Internet
  that includes a return address, are given the address directly from the 
  person, or read about an address that has some importance.  There is no
  "master" directory of Internet e-mail addresses.  You can reach people
   on Fidonet, CompuServe, MCI Mail, AT&T Mail and dozens of other mail
   services that each have their own directories and some that have no
   directory at all.

   Having said that, there is an experimental "smart" database called a KNOWBOT
   in Reston, Virginia that systematically searches several of the larger
   directories in the world to locate a person's e-mail address.  To 
   use this KNOWBOT:

   1. Address an Internet Message TO: NETADDRESS@NRI.RESTON.VA.US

   2. On the third line of your message, enter a name or part of name
      of the person you are looking for an address from.  This should
      be flush left on the third line.

   4. You can add additional names on subsequent lines.
 
   A search result will be sent to you by reply electronic mail.

   Another interesting address server at MIT maintains a list of USENET users
   that may turn up an e-mail address for you. To use this, send an internet
   message to MAIL-SERVER@PIT-MANAGER.MIT.EDU.  In the body of the message,
   enter:

   send usenet-addresses/namefrag

   Where namefrag equals the first name or the last name of the person you
   are looking for.
