If you send mail to listserv@mitvma.mit.edu containing the one line 
command GET BITNET GATES, you should shortly have a 1455 line file
delivered to you.  

However, I wonder whether you really need it.  It's been my experience
that picking one reliable INTERBIT gateway readily accessible from my 
location is far easier than trying to figure out which gateway to use
each time I need to address a BITNET node.  It seems to me that the 
gateway operated by mitvma.mit.edu should support you quite well.

Perhaps you should talk with Susan Minai-Azary or your own postmaster
about exactly what your needs are.

This brings up a related question - is there an official list of sites
which gateway mail from the Internet into BITNET?  Or is everyone supposed
to keep using the one that was listed in the sendmail.cf they got shipped
with their new Unix system?
