you could ask the admin :)  For the servers running there (mail, web etc) 
telneting to port 25 / 80 / whatever and issuing the appropriate commands 
would get you the info.

For backbones, do a traceroute, arin lookup etc.  or if you have access to 
a bgp router (query tools at places like http://nitrous.digex.net for 
example) find out what AS (arin autonomous system) it is under.
