First off, there's no such thing as "the people on .per" in the
sense that there is the poeple on Compuserve or the poeple
on prodigy, so get that idea out of your head :-)
Youmake it sound like poeple have to choose bewteen com/net/org
OR per/biz/web. Thats not the case.
The alterntative root servers people are talking about here
know about those top level domains, plus they know about
all the others out there, as well. So it's not an either/or
thing.

I don't think you can boot Netscape from a BIOS chip quite
yet, so until that happy day you're probably using windows,
unix or a mac. Now you probably aren't using a mac because
you havn't gone out of your way to tell us how great they
are and you probably aren't using unix otherwise you probably
wouldn't be asking this question.
So you're probably using Windows.
So you want to look at:
My Computer --> Control Panel --> Network
Single click on TCP/IP
Click on Properties
Click on DNS configuration
remove all the numbers that are there
then add any two or three of the following:
199.166.24.1
205.189.73.102
204.80.125.130
204.80.125.145
207.126.103.16
205.210.42.21
198.96.119.44
204.57.55.100
205.210.42.22
then click ok.
Now you can see http//lighting.faq
and all your old com net and org junk will still work, too.
