 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Could someone please give me the corresponding UUCP address if one exists
or, if not, a way to get from UUCP to the ARPAnet?  Thanks.

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from SRI-NIC.ARPA with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC.  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@SRI-NIC.ARPA and in the subject
field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject: RFC nnnn".
