Doing this results in it just hanging, similar to with the whois client: sfrost@tamriel:/home/sfrost> telnet 2001:503:5ae2:1060::74 43 Trying 2001:503:5ae2:1060::74... Connected to 2001:503:5ae2:1060::74. Escape character is '^]'. =networksolutions.com Whois Server Version 2.0 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars.

Also, attempting from other IPv6 addresses results in the same hang (even with the telnet approach). Thanks! Stephen
