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).  Login
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 RFC nqumber, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".

RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET.  Using FTP, login
with username "anonymous" and password "guest"; then connect to the RFC
directory ("cd RFC").  The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1
(where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).

The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank. The first line of the text of
the message mist be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.

Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL.  Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
unlimited distribution.
