At the risk of making a fool out of myself, I would not depend upon
INTERNET LISTING as a source of general purpose B/I gateways since
there is 0 commitment that such a gateway is well-maintained(*), will
get you to other sites, or even if the FQDN exists or is duplicative
of some other Bitnet node.  (Of course I am talking in the "global"
sense and not what the locals do.)

(*) well-maintained in the sense that certain procedure must be
    followed in order to add new Bitnet nodes that can be routed
    to FROM the Internet.
