How does one use these servers?  I have TelNet and FTP capability, but what do
I *do*?

This may have been ambiguous.  I *know* how to FTP and Telnet and all of that.
I need to know specifically how to use the name servers.

Ben - IF your site is properly setup then ftp and telnet will use these
automagically.  If you wish to query certain domain servers then there is a 
utility (under unix, at least) called nslookup.  Check the man pages for more
information....

Last time, people -- I don't *have* Unix!  I'm on psu*vm*, as in VM/XA
operating system.  Is there an equivalent to nslookup for my machine?

It has nothing whatsoever to do with UNIX.  If your FTP etc. implementation
is done right and set up properly, you can open a connection using the
domain name, without having to worry about routing issues.  If this is not
true for your specific FTP implementation, you need to beat on your system
programming staff and get them to fix it.

Ben,
geez - I'm sorry, I didn't see your 1st message.  Anyways, if you look
in the Programmers Manual for IBM TCP/IP for VM under CMSRESOLV you will
find kinda what you're looking for.  CMSRESOLV is a "programmers
interface to the Resolver", it wouldn't take to much to write an EXEC to
do do similiar queries as nslookup.  If you don't have the manual ask
your local support or systems people...

PS - why are we talking about this under comp.sys.apple2?????
