I would like to clear up a recent confusion over which type of network
the NIC WHOIS data base lists.  Currently, only "connected" networks
are listed in WHOIS.

One would not find any reference to network #3 there because it has
unconnected status, although it is a legitimate number assigned to
General Electric.
