As I said, also take a look at the web page on that site and tell me what it has to do with the Consulate of the Kingdom of Tonga. Alone it would mean little. But as part of the whole picture, that Tonga's domain seems to be used as nothing but a "safe harbor" for porn sites engaged in criminal activity and even their own supposed govt consulate comes up as an ad for a software company etc, it would seem to indicate that this domain, .to, is not being used as a legitimate country TLD, is not being managed by the people it was assigned to for the purpose it was assigned, etc. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | [email protected] | http://www.world.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD The World | Public Access Internet | Since 1989 *oo*
