    From Matthias Hertzog@2:301/101 to All on Wed Apr 7 09:28:37 2021
    Hello everybody!

    Around 1995, there was a thing called "Zonelist" where othernet-operators were "obliged" to register their zone number to prevent unwanted network mixups. It there still such a thing?

    Havea nice day,
    Matthias

    No.

    It came up a couple of years back in a discussion. And old lists where published, and someone (Mark Lewis?) published an export of zones from his binkd log I think, but that is about it...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    I have a vague recollection of that but I don't think there is anything like that anymore.

    This link might be helpful, it is a google sheet that folks can update if they like.
