It's been awhile since I messed with this, but I seem to remember something that worked like this. After you submit the template, you should get back a receipt with the NIC tracking number in the subject line. To get status, you finger #######@rs.internic.net , or maybe it was ops.internic.net. The result should be easy to parse cuz it's always in the same format. The down side is that you often don't get the receipt in time and that you're using the Internic's database key instead of your own.
finger NIC-#####@rs.internic.net I think you can also do this for open invoices you have with them, as well as tickets opened for correspondence with InterNIC staff. -- Steven J.
