Thursday and will see what I can find for you. Any list I find will be in
hardcopy, so will have to be scanned to use online. Just out of curiosity what
are you doing that involves old hosts.txt lists? I couldn't imagine that
anyone would want to see one. Guess I shouldn't throw anything away (not that
I ever did.) :-)
