I heard that bitftp dropped the non-bitnet nodes to lower the number
of requests it receives.  Sounds reasonable.

I've heard that for internet/(non-bitnet) machines, you should be
able to use ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.  Never used it, so I can't vouch
for it.  This machine is both an internet and bitnet node, so I will
continue to use bitftp...
