You could always write one. Communication with Tucows via the API doesn't take that much bandwidth. If you wanted to reduce the actual checks for availability, you could do quick DNS queries on the domain list first, then only check availability for the domains that failed the DNS check (since the others are obviously registered and therefore unavailable). Something like this would be pretty simple to code. If you'd like some custom development work done, I'm sure a number of the folks here (myself included) would be willing and able to help. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Operations / Abuse / Whatever +1 416 598-0000 it.canada - hosting and development http://www.it.ca/
