I guess whois is broken again, at least partially... I was hunting the
HylaFax home page, and went off to whois(1) 'tpc.int'... who aren't
listed. There isn't something I should know, is there?

The int TLD is not handled by the InterNIC, it's handled by USC-ISI,
as revealed by a query of InterNIC's servers.
But you can't do a whois of tpc.int using nii.isi.edu, the whois server
that you use to do whois queries on .US subdomains.
Perhaps you should ask ISI why they don't provide whois info, or perhaps
you can ask who does??

Actually, this isn't a WHOIS related problem.. (although WHOIS
'could' be down as of late.. )
TPC.INT is an internal alias at Cambridge University. TPC.INT is
not a FQDN..
Best.

Aha! Hadn't even thought about that...

Indeed?

That would be a Bill Manning question, wouldn't it?

Well a rwhois(client) call to nii.isi.edu done thusly,
rwhois -h nii.isi.edu:43 fp.k12.wa.us
Returns :
Referral Whois (RWhois) spec version 1.0 (InterNIC V-1.0BETA4)
Connecting to [nii.isi.edu] port [43] -> command line server
RWhois Server at nii-server.isi.edu version V-1.0:
Connecting to [rwhois.internic.net] port [4321] Punt referral to higher authority
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Connecting to [rwhois] port [0] Punt referral to higher authority
<ERROR> Can't find host 'rwhois'.
Punt to higher authority , Hunh.... !
It seems they don't supply whois info for areas below the us. ?
Os is it more on the line that they delegate to 'someone' but
then don't supply who someone is thru whois ?
Indeed?
