If I'm reading your message correctly, you want a copy of the nodelist,
so you can join Fidonet and request a node number. 

To do this, even *with* a nodelist is going to require working with
you *local* net. *They* are the folks who will be assigning your node
number. So I'd suggest that you start calling the local *Fidonet*
systems. One of them will be able to provide you with a nodelist.
They'll also be able to provide you with a copy of your net's 
Policy. 

To get a node number, you have to have read and agreed to the 
Current policies of Fidonet *and* of your local net. 

I keep emphasizing *local*, because unlike Usenet, Fidonet is 
organized *geographically*. Your net is determined by where you
are.
