[GreenKeys] ITTY - with no caps!

[Paul Heller]

Hi Dave,  

Ha! I tried to keep it simple.  I suspect, but don’t know for sure, that 216.146.39.125 might be my DNS provider. They are the ones actually making the web hop. For ease of explanation I include them as part of the “internet” ( what exactly is the internet anyhow?). So they registered internet-tty.net (my A-record) around the web. All internet-tty.net traffic goes to them.  The catch the url and forward it on. They do the translation. I was using CNAMES, but I did not want to do the lookups myself so I took the easy way out. 

At least that’s how I understand it...you probably know more than me!
