Telnet to the following address/port combination and have a look at the
info there.  It covers quite alot of stuff in this area.


		Host	: Mailhost.berkeley.edu 
		PORT 	: 117

	and type "help mail net index" as your initial command.

This will list info about known nets and tell you the command to receive
more info about a net in particular.  This info is designed for sources
at UCB but with a little thinking, it can be used from here.

I did note however that some major networks don't exist (ie AARNet isn't
mentioned although ACSnet is :-)
