Description Kim Scarborough 1999-12-11 18:50:01 UTC

"whois" has options for several commonly-used WHOIS servers. Now that Network Solutions has a different WHOIS server from the InterNIC, I thought their server should also be given a command line option (-n).

Fix: 

A small patch is at http://www.unknown.nu/misc/whois.diff and the modified man page is at http://www.unknown.nu/misc/whois.1 .

Querying this server is available through ``whois -i ...'' on -current 
and -stable.  Thanks anyway.
