There are established procedures for a node to leave Bitnet.
The document may be had by e-mailing listserv@bitnic or
[log in to unmask] with body-of-text:
get leaving bitnet
The procedure involves a time-period that covers a couple of BITEARN
NODES update cycles (2 or more). Basically, if the procedure is
followed, LISTSERV will take the "hint" that a site's Bitnet users are
to be moved to the equivalent :Internet. host, and that any new
Bitnet-received subscriptions should be immediately converted to the
:Internet address.
This procedure is supposed to be followed by the node's NAD. To display
a node's NAD, ask any LISTSERV:
SHOW NAD bit_node
To see if a node even has an Internet address registered(*) in the
BITEARN NODES db:
SHOW ALIAS bit_node
-- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L
[log in to unmask] "Right bullet, wrong target" s/me +1 814 863 1843
31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
(*) having a BITEARN NODES :Internet tag does NOT make it an "official"
fully-qualified domain name: that can only be done by the updating
of the Domain Name System, which is outside of Bitnet. Thus the
:Internet tag could be wrong!
