What is the INFO.TXT you guys are talking about? Should I have one on STAR69 with my node list in? 
Mark,

The HECNET INFO.TXT files is located in the default directory for the FAL$SERVER account, which is referenced from other nodes using <NODENAME>::INFO.TXT - for example SLAVE::INFO.TXT

[MSW]SLAVE$ type slave::info.txt
Marks Office, Windermere, UK

(a working set of computers - definitely not a 'collection' ;)

BUBBLE and SLAVE serve the HECnet.eu website via WASD
BUBBLE has a captive account, NETHACK, password NETHACK for playing, you guessed it, nethack.

Arbitrary text before the text: .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO
The the format as specified followed by: .END-HECNET-INFO

I've been meaning to do something with these for ages and add some more info to hecnet.eu, but I held off because I wasn't sure whether people wanted this level of information available across the internet.
