When you do a 'whois 96' you're kicking up 2 different records. From the below excerpts I see absolutely no relation between the IP block 96.0.0.0 - 126.0.0.0, and the current user of AS# 96. matt:portia: whois 96.0 IANA (RESERVED-8) Netname: Reserved Netblock: 96.0.0.0 - 126.0.0.0 Coordinator: Reynolds, Joyce K.

As far as those 'reserved' former A addresses. Aren't those the ones that are going to be cut up and handed out in the not so distant future? Matt
