People,

	We have been experimenting a bit with other means of accessing the
RIPE database and have implemented access via "finger" and mail. Especially
the last one should be a real addition to access, since we have had requests
from people that just had e-mail facilities, but did want to access the
database. So, you can use:

finger 192.87.45.0 at whois.ripe.net
finger as1104 at whois.ripe.net

and all the other keys to access the RIPE database (RIPE part only)
or send mail to <whois at ripe.net> with a message containing lines starting
with "whois" and then a key (one word keys only), for instance:

whois 192.87.45
whois as1104

Make sure that the line starts with whois (no leading characters).
Please give them a try and see if you like it.

-Marten
