Requests for Comments (RFC) library.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC. A list
of all RFCs may be obtained by copying the file RFC:RFC-INDEX.TXT.
Log in with FTP username ANONYMOUS and password GUEST.
The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in
the subject field of the message indicate the file name, as in
"Subject: SEND RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT".
Some RFCs are now available in PostScript, these may be obtained from
the NIC in a similar fashion by substituting ".PS" for ".TXT".
How to obtain the most recent edition of this "IAB Official
Protocol Standards" memo:
The file RFC:IAB-STANDARDS.TXT may be copied via FTP from the
NIC.DDN.MIL computer following the same procedures used to
obtain RFCs.
