Note #1: shell1.cybercom.com is apparently their primary dialup/shell
access server... I doubt it goes down much.
Note #2: You could've avoided all that... by using NSLOOKUP:
{outlaw:1} nslookup shell1.cybercom.net
Name: shell1.cybercom.net
Address: 206.28.134.6
{outlaw:2} nslookup kalypso.cybercom.net
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: kalypso.cybercom.net
Address: 206.28.134.5
Knowing their IP doesn't do much... Just ask the site's admins as to
who owns/runs/uses kalypso.
