The Directory Server uses public domain client/server software
developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  The
client software, called ph (short for "phonebook"), is accessible on
Miami's centrally-managed multi-user systems (MiamiU, the IBM VM/CMS
system, and MiaVX1, the DEC OpenVMS system in Oxford) and is also
available for network-connected desktop DOS/Windows and Macintosh
(from the MU_Support server) and UNIX workstations.  Desktop ph client
software should be pointed at ph.muohio.edu.  The server application,
which includes the directory database, is called qi.
