Speaking of screwed whois, have you noticed an increasing number of connection refused errors when trying to look at whois information? No more of those "Too busy" messages, just a refusal. Even their CGI/WWW based whois tool comes back blank half the time. -Deepak. On Wed, 11 Sep 1996, Eric Kozowski wrote:

Is anyone else having problems sending mail to the InterNIC? I have stuff in the queue for them for 19 hours now. The queue shows the following error:

(Deferred: Connection reset by peer with rs.internic.net.)

Also a telnet to port 25 on rs.internic.net produces the following:

% telnet rs.internic.net 25 Trying 198.41.0.5 ... Connected to rs.internic.net. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

This makes it hard to get them to correct screwed up whois entries :-O
