Using gpg:

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --search-keys "linux_support at latte.harvard.edu"
gpg: searching for "linux_support at latte.harvard.edu" from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
(1)     HMDC Linux Support <linux_support at latte.harvard.edu>
          1024 bit DSA key 99B62126, created: 2004-11-18
Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > 1
gpg: requesting key 99B62126 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu

gpg: Total number processed: 1

Type bits /keyID    Date       User ID
pub  1024D/99B62126 2004/11/18 HMDC Linux Support <linux_support at latte.harvard.edu>
     Key fingerprint = 352A C4ED 6B3C C121 53FA  61AE C8E0 D236 99B6 2126
sig        99B62126             HMDC Linux Support <linux_support at latte.harvard.edu>

HTH,
