Interesting.  This does not work for me:

fw at deneb:~$ printf '%s\r\n' "-r 193.0.14.129" | nc whois.ripe.net 43
% This is the RIPE Database query service.
% The objects are in RPSL format.

% The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions.

%ERROR:201: access denied for 85.183.209.94

fw at deneb:~$ 

Before that, I managed to blow my entire daily quota with a single
query, namely "-r r" (typo for "?", requesting help).
