Hi Stefan,

Ok thanks.

Also here something wrong also:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Simplified versions of some at-point functions from ffap.el.
;; It's not worth loading all of ffap just for these.
(defun net-utils-machine-at-point ()
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This function return not only machine but anything at point, which is
annoying.

Thus we find some lines later:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (read-from-minibuffer "Lookup host: "
                          (or (ffap-string-at-point 'machine) ""))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And ffap is not required.

I think actually it is not a problem loading ffap when needed:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defun net-utils-machine-at-point ()
    (require 'ffap)
    (ffap-machine-at-point))

  (defun net-utils-url-at-point ()
    (require 'ffap)
    (ffap-url-at-point))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This reduce code and do the right thing.

I can send a patch if ok.
