 Some may be more alive then others. As binkp is the major protocol for
 fidonet traffic these days, I made a count of unique IP adresses and
 hostnames that return a IP address. This is no guarantee, that there are
 indeed systems answering connection requests.

    Z    #    %
    1  203   23.3
    2  471   67.8
    3   16    2.3
    4    4    0.6

 Ofcourse the POTS only part of the net is the most active and omitted here.;)
