I find http://swhois.net useful as a replacement for whois and nslookup
as if you enter an IP address it gives the details of the domain which
owns it, if you give a network address it gives the registrant of the
netblock and if you give it a domain name then it gives the details one
would expect from a whois. All this from one search box on a web form
;-)

BTW 157.54.0.0 to 157.60.0.0 is registered to microsoft.com ;-)

postmasternetwork.net uses enameserv.com for its DNS so they are a fair
bet as the providers for the website that you quote.

Whilst I am posting, Allison, could you please e-mail me privately with
the full details as to how to break in to the MicroVAX 2000 which I have
just been given? I know I should have printed it last time. At present
it boots to a $ prompt with no login prompt but if I try to run
AUTHORIZE it just puts up the details of time used etc and hangs.
