Most of the whois stuff no >longer works. It still works. Don't worry. Network Solutions didn't break the whois functionality, what they stopped doing is allowing people to telnet to their servers and do multiple whois queries with one session. The whois functionality/protocol still works fine. :-) I saw some people complaining about it, but in all honesty, I wouldn't have allowed people to telnet ot my servers to begin with... But that's just me. It's sort of like saying that since you don't allow anonymous telnet clients to log into your servers and do a FTP command, that you broke the FTP protocol. Which isn't the case. Whois works fine, always has and still does. They just don't allow people to anonymously telnet into their machines to use the whois protocol. :-) Okay... I'm blabbing now... Just sort of thought it was funny when everyone was saying that NSI broke the whois protocol. hehe - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
