Hmmm... you used to be able to put a /e on the end of a query and get
the english version of the text.  That no longer seems to work :-(

Apnic mirrors some of the information in KRNIC database but I suspect
that krnic is now not bothering to keep an English version of their
data at all so there is no point in APNIC mirroring it.

The problem is made worse by the lack of PTR records so you can't even
get a domain name.  --  I have been reduced to poking at the IMAP port
on LINUX boxes and getting a domain name from the banner!
