I am looking for a source of RFCs. My company has a limited store of them, but some of the less used ones, like EGP GGP etc. are not in it. I don't have Internet access so cannot ftp them; can someone indicate their willingness to mail me a couple, preferably from a UK or EU site to save mail costs. If you can help, can you email me with an index please. 73 Gareth -- Gareth Howell <howellg@idec.stc.co.uk> G6KVK @ IO91vx ICL Financial Services, London, England, Tel:+44 (0)1 638 5622 howellg%idec%ukc@mcvax.uucp, mcvax!ukc!idec!howellg@uunet.uu.net G6KVK @ G4SPV (uk packet 144.650MHz) 44.131.19.1 g6kvk@g6kvk.ampr.org

The info-server at SRI-NIC allows anyone to pick up RFC's by email. You don't need to have Internet access (or speak FTP). Here's the details: NIC Mail Services November 1987 This is an automated service provided by the DDN Network Information Center. It allows access to NIC documents and information via ordinary electronic mail. This is especially useful for people who do not have access to the NIC via a direct Internet link, such as BITNET, CSNET and UUCP sites. To use the mail service, send a mail message to SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA. In the SUBJECT field, request the type of service you wish followed by any needed arguments. The message body is normally ignored. Large files will be broken into smaller separate messages. The information you request will be sent back to you as soon as possible. The following services are currently available: HELP This message; a list of current services. RFC nnn nnn is the RFC number or the word INDEX. IEN nnn nnn is the IEN number or the word INDEX. NETINFO xxx xxx is a file name or the word INDEX. SEND xxx xxx is a fully specified file name. HOST xxx Returns information about host xxx. WHOIS xxx Returns information about xxx from the WHOIS service. Use "WHOIS HELP" for information on how to use WHOIS. Example SUBJECT lines: HELP RFC 822 RFC INDEX NETINFO DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT SEND RFC:ASSIGNED-NUMBERS.TXT HOST SRI-NIC.ARPA WHOIS LOTTOR, MARK Send comments or suggestions to SUGGESTIONS@SRI-NIC.ARPA. Send questions and bug reports to NIC@SRI-NIC.ARPA. For people in the UK, UCL keep most of the RFC's on-line and they are readily available. They can be accessed by anonymous NIFTP and I think there's also an info-server that will allow you to pick RFC's up by email. Sadly, I can't put my hands on the file that had all the details of how to fetch RFCs from UCL.
