BUT, none of them can do it well, because this information just isn't available
for IP addresses. For example, a large block of addresses may be allocated to
UUNET, with appropriate addresses in the US, but they may well be used all
over the world. The registered snail-mail addresses are virtually the only
information such a tool can use.
