Description Walter Campbell 2001-07-07 18:30:01 UTC 
	The base whois client does not include the option to connect to a
	specific port on a whois server, which makes it difficult to provide
	abuse reports for certain large ISP's that run their own rwhois
	servers.  This patch adds -P to specify a port to connect to.

	The base whois client also only contains an option to connect to the
	APNIC whois database, which used to server Australia.  Now, AUNIC
	runs their own, so a small addition for -u was added for them.

	This pr takes the place of misc/26521.

I'm going to be working on some whois(1) changes, 
so I'll take a look at this one.

Two new options have been added to whois(1) in -CURRENT.  The first 
option -p, allows one to query a whois server on a specific port.  The 
second option -c, allows one to query a whois server based on a 
country code (for example: whois -c au query). 

The first one will not be MFC'd, but instead will be available in 
5.0-RELEASE because we don't change around options in established 
branches.  The second will be MFC'd after 4.4-RELEASE.

The -c option has been MFC'd.
