IBM employee's E-mail address?

I wonder if any IBM employees out would be able to help me out.
I would like to get in touch by e-mail with a cousin of mine who 
works for IBM in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  I am assuming that IBM
might have some lookup facility for e-mail addresses.  I have
tried TelNeting to the military WHOIS server with no joy.

My cousin is called 
                       Phil J Mullan 
and he uses some sort of reference number: 183/2N129.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

My experience has been that the IBMer has to have special permission to have 
Internet access.  I would guess that most don't.  When I sent queries to 
postmaster@ibm.com I got no response at all.  And this was before most of the
layoffs....

1.  IBMers have to register for the Internet gateway, but no special permission
is required.

2.  The postmaster is *extremely* good about answering mail.  I'm amazed that
you didn't receive a reply.  Are you sure the mail arrived there?

3.  There have been no layoffs in IBM in over 50 years.  IBM is asking for
voluntary retirement and relocation from some employees, many whom are enjoying
the opportunity to bridge to retirement.  IBM has said that some lines of
business may resort to layoffs if their lines of business can not be profitable
otherwise.
