Time yet again for my post praising "ph", the nameserver written by the folks at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's CSO. It permits email to be sent to many approximations of a person's full name (eg. andy-glew, krazy-glue, a-glew all work to send mail to me @uiuc.edu); in case of collision it replies asking the sender to be a bit more specific. It can be used as a database query system, plugged into whois, finger, etc. You can get ph nameserver from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:net/qi via anonymous ftp. -- Andy Glew, a-glew@uiuc.edu [get ph nameserver from uxc.cso.uiuc.edu:net/qi]
