Telnet Port 25 Trick
Network solutions shut down that nifty telnet thing on whois.intenic.net on the default telnet port (25), despite many protests. However, there is something fun you can do with telnet with whois.internic.net or any other cooperating domain name server. At your DOS prompt in Windows (search for command.com or cmd.exe to run a DOS prompt) or teminal prompt (shell) in Linux or Unix, type:
telnet whois.internic.net 43
It gives a blank page. Type in the domain name you want to check and hit enter. Voila! You get something like this:
Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
