Assuming you mean Mailing Lists when you are referring to Databases, LISTSERV 1.6 automagically maintains a list of all currently active LISTSERV discussions at all sites. This list cen be requested by sending the command LIST GLOBAL to your nearest LISTSERV. However, this will only show BITNET list addresses. As to the internet, are you referring to Usenet News Groups (which require special software to access), or just the regular mailing lists?
