I am looking for some information about BITNET and the protocols a
BITNET host runs.  As I understand it, BITNET is an academic network
meant primarily to link IBM mainframes, which implies the use of IBM
networking protocols.  I'd like to find out what central administration
is done, what existing protocols are or may be used between hosts, what
protocols the BITNET software may implement itself, what IBM operating
systems will run the BITNET software, whether other computers (if
any run the BITNET protocols and exist in the network, and what types
of gateways to other networks are available.  A pointer to a good
reference of any type would also be appreciated.  I'd prefer responses
via e-mail.  Thanks very much in advance!
