I am developing Willow, the Washington Information Looker-upper Layered
Over Windows, which is a general purpose GUI for data-base retrieval. It
is written under X-Windows/Motif.  Anyway, in order to test out my
attempts at making the back-end generalizable, I need to find some more
databases to talk to.  What I need are databases which are accessible
via telnet, and can function in a simple teletype mode (I don't want to
parse terminal control junk). The interface is geared towards
bibliographic databases (i.e. card-catalogs, journal citations), but I
would be glad to try it on anything. I would be prefer free access
databases, but would consider commercial ones too.

Please e-mail me your suggestions, and I will be happy to summarize the
responses into a list.  Unless of course somebody already has a 
comprehensive list of internet accessible databasese... 

Note, followups to comp.databases.
