This FYI RFC provides pointers to the published standards of the MIT X
Consortium. This memo provides information for the Internet
community. It does not specify any Internet standard. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
FYIs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
FYI:FYImm.TXT, or RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "mm" refers to the number of the
FYI and "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 FYI or RFC number, as in "Subject:
FYI mm" or "Subject: RFC nnnn".
FYI 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 must 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 FYI RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
specifically noted otherwise on the FYI RFC itself, all FYI RFCs are
for unlimited distribution.
Submissions for FYI RFCs should be sent to JKREY@ISI.EDU. Please
consult RFC 1150, "F.Y.I on F.Y.I: Introduction to the F.Y.I. Notes",
for further information.
Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
