A subscriber in Siberia, who is on one of my lists, reports
that the server at his university will not dispatch to
Bitnet addresses.  I am wondering if anyone on this list
knows of a convenient way to determine the full internet
address of a site, given that site's bitnet address.
I can inform him that some are reasonably easy to discern,
such as GSUVM1 [which becomes GSUVM1.GSU.EDU in internet
form], or MAINE [MAINE.MAINE.EDU]. Others are less obvious,
such as PUCC [PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU]. And others are impossible
to guess, such as INDYCMS [INDYCMS.IUPUI.EDU].
Since it is not possible, from the site in Siberia to send
a HELP command to a bitnet address, and thus get the
full internet address, I wonder what those of you on the list
could suggest.
Thanks in advance.
