FCC regulations. They are bound up neatly too. But there is a whole
damn lot of them. You better figure out which "part" you want. I
don't know how you go about getting exactly what you want. I know we
got the parts corresponding to Broadcast through the NAB and you can
get the amateur regulations through the ARRL. It seems that the
government doesn't worry about selling directly to the public but
allows other publishing companies to do so (the FAA regs are this way
too).
New regs are published in the Federal Register but that is a lot of
stuff to go through to find it. There is a telephone number in D.C.
that you can call at the F.C.C. and they have a recording announcing
FCC actions, new rules, notice of proposed rulemakings, etc... This
would likely give you an idea as to when to go down to your nearest
library (that is a repository of Government documents) and start
digging through the recent FR's.

Hi Hobbit,
I don't think that the MCI mail program is a com file.
Normally, if you set nocontrol, you get a pair of CRLFs. I didn't
even get that. So.... A separate program? Any ideas??

Federal laws are compiled into something called "United States Code"
(USC). Regulations are in something called "Code of Federal
Regulations" (CFR). Both of these are many volumes; you are probably
interested in Title 47. Yes, a library is the place to go; if they
don't have it, the librarian will know where the nearest library is
that does. You can most likely find out where to go simply by calling
your local public library.

If you are interested in FCC rulings there are three places to find
them. When they first come out, they appear in the Federal Register
-- usually about 2-3 weeks after you read in the newspaper that the
FCC voted on an issue at some meeting. It takes that long to write up
the vote formally.
About 2 months later it will be published in a government publication
called FCC Reports, which is found in many law libraries and other
such places.
Finally, regulations, as opposed to the full text of FCC decisions
with explanations of their reasoning, will be published in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) which is found in most libraries. For
example, rules about connecting things to the phone line are Part 68
of the commission's rules.
