This memo is the first in a new sub-series of RFCs called FYIs (For
Your Information).  This memo provides information for the Internet
community.  It does not specify any standard.  Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.

FYIs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
FYI:mm.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".

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.

Requests to be added to or deleted from this distribution list should
be sent to RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
