Why can't the ISPs get their act together and use a whois client that allows a simple request like "whois name" to find the appropriate database? This is simple enough that it could be done with a PERL script frontend to the regular whois client and as an added bonus it could lookup info in the country-code TLD databases as well. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: [email protected] Check the website for my Internet World articles - http://www.memra.com
