This is on the official IPng pages and should be the one place this list is
kept up.  It is referenced on the 6bone web page.

Some of this is also on the IPng pages, some not.  I'll think on this one.

I've asked the NASA guys about this, but no response yet.  Meanwhile the
ISI mail archive at:

	ftp://ftp.isi.edu/6bone/6bone.mail

is up to date (albeit a large flat file).



Thanks for your comments, glad to see someone looks at this stuff :-)
