- Well, for bitnet nodes (and their internet equivalents) you can send (or mail)
- the following one line command to the LISTSERV nearest you:
-
- SHOW NODE <nodename>
-
- This will return info about the node including internet equivalents and contact
- people. Won't be all that readable since it is a dump of a table entry, but
- with a little practice it will all make sense. If you just want the internet
- equivalent, then issue a SHO ALIAS <nodename>
