FYI internic.com is different from internic.net. The former is owned by Internic Software of Victoria, Australia. The latter is owned by Network Solutions in Herndon, Virginia. Internic Software's home page disclaims any association to Network Solutions, though I myself have often wondered why Network Solutions ever permitted such a dilution of the name "Internic." This may be why internic.net has dissappeared and the browser automatically forwards to networksolutions.com -- perhaps they are leaving the name "Internic" behind and moving toward Network Solutions and NSI exclusively(?)
