I picked up one to see what the fuss was all about admittedly, I happily logged into the control panel, typed in a few things and oh......Telnic | telProxy that's it?

I'm confused as to all the hype about it not working like a traditional domain which maps to an IP address, especially after reading this:
.tel DNS Mapping - Information Stored as DNS - .tel Domains

Do an nslookup:
Quote:
Macintosh:~ davidmiddlehurst$ nslookup iseka.tel
Server: 10.1.1.1
Address: 10.1.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: iseka.tel
Address: 194.77.54.2

Okay, seems just like a normal domain. Checks the webserver headers with Netcraft:

Netcraft What's That Site Running Results

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

Seems a load of rubbish to me, standard way of a domain working, only they host the business card thing on their own webserver.

Information stored in the DNS?......NO
