I'm not a POSTMASTER, but I believe there is a distribution list for such a map and most POSTMASTERs subscribe. I don't know if you can subscribe from UseNet, but I suspect you can get some postmaster somewhere to send a copy. There is normally an alias called POSTMAST for the POSTMASTER's id at a particular node, so you should be able to send a request to "POSTMAST@UGA" for such a list. From UseNet, the address should be "POSTMAST@UGA.bitnet". The smart mailer at your site probably won't understand where UGA is, but it will recognize the ".bitnet" part, and send it to the nearest BITNET gateway (that is if your PostMaster is doing his job), and the machine on the BITNET side of the gateway will know how to find UGA. I've only been on both networks for a month or two, so I welcome corrections, but I believe this will get you what you want. -- UseNet: lag@cseg (I think) L. Adrian Griffis BITNET: AG27107@UAFSYSB
