You can access the NIC database of MILNET and ARPANET users
via a TCP connection to port 43 decimal on SRI-NIC as described
in RFC812.   Various types of search qualifications are available
including mailbox name across all sites and specific mailbox
as well as site name.  We are interested in specific
suggestions for improvements to this server.

If you do not have a capability to access this server from your
site, you can telnet to SRI-NIC and use the command
"WHOIS" which is available without need for login.  A help
message for this program is available as HLP:WHOIS.HLP
from SRI-NIC (via FTP under the ANONYMOUS login convention).
