	Actually, Adhocnet was registered without anyone asking.  We were
	informed that we had to use .CA and that is why its there.  We've
	had it for a couple of years, it seems that only recently that the .CA
	is getting wider use.

	My understanding is that UGuelph handles .CA.  UNCANET will Handle
	.AB. so if these are our forwarders then yes that part has been set up.

	Whats all this about a cheque?  I don't remember seeing anything
	saying we needed for fork out $$$.
