Yuck. While I won't prevent someone from doing this, regularly scraping
that file, hoping for a standardized, usable format, seems optimistic
and heavy. :-)

Yes, we keep trying that. It keeps failing. :)

Yes. Also, it would be nice with a little more massaged information about public resources. Assembling something from one-liners really isn't what I was thinking of.

Seems noone have such a web resource around, so I guess I'll drop the
idea for now.

I can offer up a web server. It's FreeBSD though. :)

As far as that goes, I could do that on RSX...

There was someone who (for a while?) tried to have a network map around.
Is that still up somewhere? It would be even nicer to get something
superimposed on a real map.

I'm still going to be working on it. It's been sitting on the sidelines
waiting for Paul to get NICE support written into his DECnet stack he's
written in python. The current mapper works fine so long as it's only
DEC OSes involved. Cisco (and Rob's router) break it and I haven't found
a good solution to that while trying to run it on VMS (there are some
limitations such as paramiko not working on VMS).

I will get back to it. I promise. :)

Ah.
Well, yes, it's a nice project. Would be neat to get it working more completely.
