first two lines of output (i.e. "\nRegistrant:\n"). Then the connection hangs and times out. From my point of view it seems that the connection has indeed been cut off. The weird part is that this only happens for NetBSD-1.3.x hosts on my network. BSDI BSD/OS 1.1, Ultrix, and at one point SunOS-4.1 hosts were all receiving complete output from whois queries. [...]
