There are two methods to find e-mail addresses at other institutions:
 
  (1)  (A) Access Miami Root by (i) typing MUROOT at the command prompt on
                                    either MiaVX1 (DEC OpenVMS) or MiamiU
                                    (IBM VM/CMS) (or through EndUser on MiamiU)
                               (ii) pointing your Gopher client at
                                    Gopher.MUOhio.Edu
                              (iii) pointing your World Wide Web client (Mosaic
                                    or Netscape, etc) at WWW.MUOhio.Edu
       (B) Select "Directories" from the top-level Miami Root menu
       (C) Select "Other Institutions' Directories Servers"
       (D) Select the appropriate part of the world (in this case, "Europe")
       (E) Select the appropriate institution (in this case, "University of
           Liege, Belgium")
       (F) Follow instructions for searching their directory server
 
  (2)  (A) Access Miami Root by means described above

Not to worry, you picked an appropriate newsgroup.  I'm crossposting this to
mu.directory-server and mu.root also.
