If I'm not misunderstanding you, what you want to see is these
objects:

inetnum:        82.108.52.0 - 82.108.53.255
netname:        ABC

so that's the "type" you need to specify: "inetnum".  "netname:" is not
an object type, but an attribute.

$ whois3 -r -T inetnum ABC

-> 15 objects (-r restricts returning of referred person: objects)

Or do you want to restrict your search to "only match ABC in the netname:
attribute"?  I'm not sure if it can be done, but that's not what "--type"
is for in any case.
