Ok, the basic stupid way that always works in those cases is telnet whois.ripe.net 43 Trying 2001:610:240:0:193::202... Connected to whois.ripe.net. Escape character is '^]'. -B -G 147.28.128.0/19

Recompile whois client to the one ripe has been handing or force your whois client to send query prepended with -B and -G in raw form (might have to enclose in quotes). If you're using jwhois try: jwhois -h whois.ripe.net -a -- "-B -G 147.28.160.0/19" If not output of 'whois --version; would help to know what you need to do. P.S. I think it was quite stupid for RIPE to have chosen '-?' as way to send options to whois server on the protocol level.... On Thu, 17 Nov 2005, Randy Bush wrote:
