These machines are in the CDOT area on the first floor of the TEL building.

Tip:
You can append the machine names and IPs to the hosts file (/etc/hosts on Linux and Mac OSX, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) -- do not delete the existing contents of that file, just add this text:
142.204.133.122 spain 142.204.133.121 china 142.204.133.123 liberia 142.204.133.124 newzealand 142.204.133.101 easterisland 142.204.133.102 ireland
After doing this, you can access the machines by name: ssh userid@liberia
