According to the ISO 3166 list once posted here, NA is: Namibia NA NAM 516 However, the root servers give NXDOMAIN for NA, so your address can't have been a working Internet one. UUCP perhaps? -- Lars Mathiesen, DIKU, U of Copenhagen, Denmark [uunet!]mcsun!diku!thorinn Institute of Datalogy -- we're scientists, not engineers. thorinn@diku.dk

UUCP perhaps? Probably an amateur packet radio address. I'll bet it's something like KA5KTH@#HOU.TX.US.NA or so...the last three parts describe the state or province, country, and continent. These addresses are not reachable from the Internet, due at least in part to content restrictions on amateur radio far tighter than the Internet ever thought about having. -- Jay Maynard, EMT-P, K5ZC, PP-ASEL | Never ascribe to malice that which can jmaynard@thesis1.hsch.utexas.edu | adequately be explained by stupidity.
