Hi John

Thanks :)

Get this utility, its a multi nic whois.

http://www.os2site dot com/sw/internet/util/whois-4.5.12-os2.zip

Once downloaded, copy it to a path directory (ie, c:\apps\bin)

Type

whois fhcsa dot com dot au

Gives you all the same/more info, quicker, easier :)

>I then tried to access www.fhcsa dot com dot au and received this error:

Maybe the servers been compromised ;-)

>Hmm, looks like a virtual hosted site 

Yes, it is.

>But does it help Graham?

No, but the command line whois might :-)

After all the problems I've had kindly letting people know that
their server has a problem, I'm a bit loath to send an email to
him but I think maybe I should do the right thing.

The other thing I learn a few years ago, never tell people
your running OS/2, I just say a variant of Linux and leave it
at that. Well, Apache runs under Linux, though Weasel doesnt ;-)
I also use Sendmail and qmail under OS/2.

I've had problems with telling people I run OS/2 servers, they
then come back to me and make the statement, "The fault is at
your end", and then leave it to me to prove to them with evidence
that they are the ones with the fault, with out I suspect even bothering
to check there end first.

Hi Voytek

>>email servers, especially Windows MS Exchange based ones.

Notice I didnt say they were running MS Exchange :)

But the site www.fhcsa dot com dot au is running Microsoft-IIS/4.0 on NT4

Subject: [os2genau] ubject: [OT] FaxSwitch wanted

Hi,
I've got ADSL & a fax server connected to my PSTN line.
The thing is, I only get about 3 faxes a month :)

I'd like to also allow the telephony service to be available, but to do
this seamlessly, I'll need a FaxSwitch.

I'm looking for a second-hand one for under $100.
Please reply off-list.

Regards,

Daryl  Pilkington
