In my experience is not possible make a whois on whois.nic.ch on port 43, you must use the web page protected by a captcha.

It's possible to make a domain check using whois.nic.ch on port 4343 (https://www.nic.ch/whois/domaincheck/)
whois swissinfo.ch -h whois.nic.ch -p 4343
returns a custom response to indicate the status of the domain, I have not found other ways to not use the web page https://www.nic.ch/whois/
the Swiss are jealous of their whois
