Les, we're not testing Windoze (I hope). I have had the distinct
pleasure of not having had to touch a Windoze box (except to reformat
and install Linux) in almost 2 years now. The only reason I remember
traceroute isn't traceroute (forget what it is) is because I do remember
_something_. I also remember Windoze traceroute doesn't use UDP, it
uses ICMP. But I don't ever expect to see a Windoze command line again,
much less actually use it (does Windoze XP still even have a command
line?).

Yer a lucky man, David. <g> See my reply to Chuck, but in summay, I reckon
nslookup is a valid Linux utility with the added benefit of being useful on
Windows, OS/2 and perhaps other (Be?) clients to test a Linux DNS.
Deprecated, maybe, but useful to know, nonetheless.
And for the record, Windows calls tracroute tracert and OS/2 calls it
tracerte, IIRC. Stash that info away for the next LUG trivia quiz! <g>
Best,
