In article <[log in to unmask]>, "John F. Chandler" <[log in to unmask]> says: >The following list is from BITNET GATES, the official summary of >gateways maintained on LISTSERV@BITNIC and the various NETSERV's. >Most of them are probably included in the file called INTERNET LISTING, >also available from LISTSERV@BITNIC, which gives the correspondence >between BITNET and Internet names.

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.) /Pete, an IBM TCP/IP For MVS SMTP maintainer (*) 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.
