well, yes...but that's a matchbook protocol if i ever saw one. three
pages on "send a line to the server and it will send you stuff back".
:)
besides...only internic's server seems to come close to implementing
the protocol as described there, which, incidentally, doesn't describe
the "forwarding" responses that rs.internic.net now feeds us.
i stand by my implementation. by putting the appropriate data in the
database, the implementation i gave can do just about all of that.
