   BITNIC is the NIC for BITNET and is located in New York City at
the City Univ of NY University Computer Center. From any BITNET site,
send a message (not a mail file!) to NICSERVE@BITNIC saying:

    SENDME NODES1 INFO
    SENDME NODES2 INFO
    SENDME BITNET TOPOLOGY
    SENDME INDEX

   Enjoy!
