Re: smurf... still?

Dear Daniel,

Sorry that I have mislead you to the Hookup.

As you might know already, Hookup went backrupt a few months ago.
And all what they had is NOW break into a few company's.


I believe this might give you "real" start.

According to nslookup, "hookup.net" is currently upated by
hookup.net      nameserver = ns1.nbc.netcom.ca
hookup.net      nameserver = ns2.nbc.netcom.ca

So, I lookup whois data base for netcom.ca.
I got
[No name] (NS18559-HST)

   Hostname: NS1.NBC.NETCOM.CA
   Address: 207.181.89.2
   System: ? running ?

   Coordinator:
      Bignell, Graham  (BG54-ORG)  netcom () THE ENTIRE NET
      416 341 5776
Fax- - - 416 341 5725

   Record last updated on 21-Jan-97.
   Database last updated on 8-Feb-98 04:14:24 EDT.


So, I think this might be a good start.

I should have looked further before informed you.


regards,

tatsuya
