This list is far from complete, and undoubtedly inaccurate!!
Any corrections, additions or deletions would be appreciated
very much, and included in later listings. Locations of the
servers would be nice, so people could increase efficiency a
little bit for the Internet as whole. I have entered some--
but don't know them all.

If anyone would care to volunteer to maintain this list just
let me know.


Thanks!
