Is there some list of valid Bitnet node names available somewhere?
How does one get it? This would be something similar to the Arpa
host table /etc/hosts available on many Unix systems. I've heard
of something called Bitnic. I presume that Bitnic is a network
information center which is to Bitnet what sri-nic is to Arpa. Is
that correct?
