Has anyone ever done a census of the various networks? I know 
there are a tremendous number of nodes reachable out there and am 
curious just how many are in this happy little family.

I know that within Digital, we have 1993 nodes defined in our 
databases and anywhere from 1100 to 1600 of them are reachable at 
any time. But, that doesn't count what is available through our
gateways to USENET, ARPANET, BITNET, CSNET etc, it's only the 
count for the internal DEC network (we call it Enet...).

I'd be interested to know how many machines are in the other 
networks. For that matter, I'd like to know get a complete list 
of networks that exist too.

Thanks for any help you might provide.
