[vox-tech] whois help

[Peter Jay Salzman]

the old mailing list got spam which first few headers are:

>From p@belial.ucdavis.edu  Sat Nov 24 08:46:07 2001
Received: from ns.esquare.co.jp (ns.esquare.co.jp [210.145.142.178])
        by beast.cal.net (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian 8.9.3-21) with ESMTP id
        IAA31324; Sat, 24 Nov 2001 08:46:02 -0800

so it looks like ns.esquare.co.jp [210.145.142.178] is the culprit.  doing a
whois from apnic.net, this belongs to jpnic.   so doing a whois from jpnic
gives:

   Open Computer Network
         SUBA-131-070 [Sub Allocation] 210.145.142.0
   E Square corporation
         ESQUARE [210.145.142.176 <-> 210.145.142.191] 210.145.142.176/28

at this point, i don't know how to get further information on this host.  the
help (whois -h whois.nic.ad.jp help) confuses me.   would someone familiar
with this please give me some tips on how to get more information from the
whois server?
