Hi Chuck,

    Yes, BW Whois should handle that transiton smoothly. It looks for the
"Whois Server:" string in the response to indicate that it's a "thin"
server. So as soon as they stop sending that, it should just work like a

    Of course, odds are that they'll do something entirely different and
unexpected. ;^)
