Look in the maps for entries with the fidonet domain.  Those systems
are gateways from into the various fidonet networks scattered
around the world.  

Currently I am not aware of any fidonet package that runs under unix/xenix -
but there is a package called ufgate that runs under dos that allows a complete
usenet/fidonet gateway to gate to/from a unix site using uucp and into
the fidonet world using Binkleyterm or any DOS mailer.
