They still have one that I know of.  Its connected to machine BITNIC.
I'm not disclosing anything secret because anyone with access to the
BITNET routing tables can find it.  Just think of VNET as akin to the

communicating to them is a royal pain in the rear.  Unless someone on
the inside opens the door to you.
