This is a deceptive title.  Quite a few of the sites listed in your post
are *NOT* connected to the net directly (i.e., use UUCP to transfer traffic)
and you obviously can't telnet or ftp to or from them.

This tile suggests (IMHO) that this list contains information
on dial-in terminal servers from which users can access the internet
directly.  This list is nothing more than a very short version of the NIXPUB
listing.

A good thing, too.  Quite a few entries we incorrect.

I know that you are trying to do a service to the net.community, and
that's great.  Please try to pick a more accurate title next time.  8-)
