First, I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my question. Following along old a few files, I was able to find what I was after (in a very round about manner).

The specific question I had in mind was VMS -- true -- but the general question was NOT VMS! Given the migration away from BITNET/EARN, what I was looking for was a quasi-authoritative way to track down former BITNET sites on the Internet. In my case, I was fortunate in that the site was a recent departure. Had it been more than a few months off BITNET, I would have been seriously hosed. Perhaps this is something which needs to be passed along to the BITNET/EARN powers that be. It is clearly a connectivity issue associated with BITNET which I think BITNET member sites would appreciate (and should expect at least in the form of minimal support -- these hosts have very likely not fallen off the face of the planet!).
