Is there some list of valid Bitnet node names available somewhere?
How does one get it?  This would be something similar to the Arpa
host table /etc/hosts available on many Unix systems.  I've heard
of something called Bitnic.  I presume that Bitnic is a network
information center which is to Bitnet what sri-nic is to Arpa.  Is
that correct?

   BITNIC is the NIC for BITNET and is located in New York City at
the City Univ of NY University Computer Center. From any BITNET site,
send a message (not a mail file!) to NICSERVE@BITNIC saying:

    SENDME NODES1 INFO
    SENDME NODES2 INFO
    SENDME BITNET TOPOLOGY
    SENDME INDEX

   Enjoy!
