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

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. :)

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. :)
