There's not one, but several.  First of all, there's a list
distributed with each edition of news.announce.newusers.
(You DID check n.a.n first, right?)

Since you're on Internet, anonymous FTP from ftp.nisc.sri.com
netinfo/interest-groups will get you about half a megabyte's

BITNET people can send a LIST GLOBAL to any handy LISTSERV.
