	I can't reach the whois servers to get POC information
for suranet or bbnplanet, thus I spam y'all.

	A traceroute from escape.com yields:

	I'm guessing either a routing problem by MCI, or by suranet.

	Can anyone out there help me?  I've called and e-mail MCI's
trouble system, but can't get any information on suranet's POC's.

	Thanks,
