Point taken. I assumed my version of whois was up to date and my google results only showed it being unallocated. FWIW, OSX my default whois was 4.7.17, which I assumed was up to date. Updated to 4.7.20 and charter appears. Apologies for the time waster. On 9/19/07, Joe Provo <nanog-post@rsuc.gweep.net> wrote:

Is this a function of whois hardcoded to no do lookups for this

You are running some old version of whois - thanks for providing no OS or anything. It quite cleearly told you ityself that it is in need of upgrading, and the specifics will vary based on what the heck you are running.
Perhaps a pointy-clicky client is more your speed? the ARIN web interface would tell you in this instance, and the geektools.com lookup is fairly bright about looking at multiple registries.
