dig -x 206.72.132.166

(This gives you a LOT of data.)

On my RH7.1 system, "nslookup 206.72.132.166" works too:

Server:  snoopy.tblc.org
Address:  206.72.132.7

Name:    sunline.tblc.org
Address:  206.72.132.166

The answer is sunline.tblc.org.

(And, yes, you can telnet in -- by design.  It's one of those proprietary 
library systems with a telnet frontend, and no ADA-accessible Web frontend 
just yet.)
