Anyhoo...<BR>

That's what they said about gopher and archie. I think that this is slightly different, but not by much. Perhaps it even means it has outlived its usefulness? Its rare that I run a cli whois and has been for sometime and I think that's common with win being the dominant platform. The challenge is OSS and automated functions, but theoretically those needs could be met with bulk transfer or a new interface.<BR>

I'm wondering how many people here have actually used the portal, even with its current limitations? I'm using it manage a -lot of IP address a space, orgs and POCS and I'm looking forward to it being a near one stop shop.<BR>
<BR>
[Hey Mark, can you guys add csv export of POC linked PI and PA into some near future release? Would help for correlation of space during subsequent allocations :) ]<BR>
<BR>
YMMV,<BR>

whois protocol is used across a variety of organizations beyond ARIN <BR>
and removing<BR>
the whois protocol interface to the data would, IMHO, be a mistake.<BR>
