I'm quite a neophyte at this usenet stuff, but it seems to me that first you might read the usenet maps for the geographical area in which your friend is studying. One you learn the machine name of his university's machine(s), you will also learn the name of that machine's administrator, as in: college!bigshot So write to college!bigshot and ask if there's a login name there for your friend littleshot, in which case you've got his address, college!littleshot. -- Time is nature's way of Jean-Pierre Radley making sure that everything ..!cmcl2!phri!dasys1!jpr doesn't happen all at once.
