Dave: I guess you would need to ASK the NAD at the other institution. Was it done from a generic address like POSTMASTER or MAINT, or from a real person's userid? You did not ID the site so I can't see if they are a bitnet node. If they are, then BITEARN NODES id's the NADs and other contacts. LDBASEtte: s * IN PEERS WHERE NODE bitnode P CONTACT /P
