I was trying to retrieve an old RFC (468) and tried NIC.DDN.MIL and NIS.NSF.NET (as RFC 1177 tells me to) and each no longer have the old RFCs apparently online. Or am I looking in the wrong place? Can anyone tell me where I should look and perhaps update RFC1177 with the correct information? Thanks, Hank

Or am I looking in the wrong place? Can anyone The NIC has hard copies of all RFC's in its archives. Some of the early RFC's that may have been online seem to have become "lost", perhaps on someone's backup tapes out there. If you consult the file rfc-index.txt, it will list the online status of any RFC. Any leads, rumours, or otherwise, leading to retrieval of the Missing RFC's, will be rewarded with a batch of my Chocolate Chip Cookies... P.S. The TeX recipe is available on ftp.nisc.sri.com, netinfo/cookies.tex. --Steven

Hank, Many of the early RFCs were never on-line files. No concerted effort was made to capture on-line versions of those that were. Hence, very few of the RFCs before about RFC 500 are available on line. Joyce and --jon.
