	To convert internet addresses (and possibly others, too) to the
"number" format; i.e cscaza.ncsu.edu to 128.109.217.5, most machines
offer the facility "nslookup." You can try typing "nsquery host <host
name>" (where hostname is something like cscaza.ncsu.edu). I am not sure
of this feature though, and anyone who knows more, may please
clarify/expand.
