Much obliged by your kind correction. As I had it, such services as the
gopher and telnet resorted only to TCP/IP addresses.

Atentamente, Regards

a popular misconception, domain names are viewed by the public as only
used for webstes, thats because that the only way they use a domain name.
however the vast majority of domains are not just used for websites, they
are used for a unlimited number of things some of which are email, voip,
ftp, instant messaging, gopher and a multitude of other standardized
protocols (see ietf.org) or private sevices (see xmethods.org)

I refrence two websites above but both provide additional services other
than their websites.
