Hi, as Tom has mentioned, the CA domain information is not available
via "whois". But see below.
I wonder if implementing "whois" would be worthwhile. Personally I
would rather use a comprehensive distributed directory service.
Regards,
John Demco <CA-Registrar@CDNnet.CA>
CA domain registrar
====================================================
Information about the CA domain is available by electronic mail and by
anonymous FTP. Included are lists of registered organizations, a copy
of each organization's registration, and an application form.
To retrieve information via anonymous FTP, establish a connection to
ftp.cdnnet.ca, log in with the username "anonymous", and specify your
e-mail address as the password. When logged in, change to the
"ca-domain" directory with the following command:
cd ca-domain
Individual files can then be retrieved using the "get" command:
get <remote filename>
For example:
get Index
get Application-form
get ca.bc.nanaimo.sd68
These files are mirrored on a number of other hosts; you can use
"archie" to find them.
To retrieve information via electronic mail, specify a line of the
following form:
index ca-domain
or
send ca-domain <filename> [<filename> ...]
in the subject line or body of an electronic mail message to the
CDNnet archive server. Send this message to:
archive-server@relay.CDNnet.CA
or in X.400 format:
S=archive-server; OU=relay; O=CDNnet; P=cdn; A=telecom.canada; c=CA;
Example:
To: archive-server@relay.CDNnet.CA
Subject: send ca-domain Introduction Application-form
