Another option is http://www.it.ca/bin/whois , which has some nifty support for multiple whois servers (ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, etc).
A while back, I wrote an OpenSRS logo extension for it. If you take your numeric reseller ID, the number that's used as the "rid" variable on your OpenSRS transfer page, and put it before the object to lookup, the whois client will be automatically "branded". So http://www.it.ca/bin/whois/45/tucows.com looks up the tucows.com domain using DomainDirect's logo. And if you want just a blank form, leave off the lookup object: http://www.it.ca/bin/whois/45/ .
