Tom,
X5WHOIS, developed as part of the FOX project, is a variant of the
WHOIS server program that accesses information in o=Internet@ou=WHOIS.
Users can access this server using two methods -- remote-WHOIS and
TELNET -- as follows:
[1] Remote-WHOIS: Assuming your site runs the BSD
"whois" program:
% whois -h inic.nisc.sri.com <argument-string>
[2a] Telnet to inic.nisc.sri.com, port 43.
Type a one-line argument.
[2b] Telnet to inic.nisc.sri.com.
Login as "x5whois", which
needs no password. Type one-line arguments.
X5WHOIS maps to your model as follows:
> User Workstation Intermediate Servers
> Machine
>
> Simple Simple
> Access <---Simple---> Access<==>DUA <---X.500---> DSA
> Client Protocol Server Protocol
whois <--RFC 954--> X5WHOIS <----DAP----> DSA
telnet <--RFC 854--> X5WHOIS <----DAP----> DSA
