My understanding is that most BITNET sites have a map of the rest of
the network.  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.
