RFCs can be obtained from DS.INTERNIC.NET by using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Wide Area
Information Servers (WAIS), or electronic mail. Through FTP, RFCs are stored as rfc/rfcnnnn.txt
or rfc/rfcnnnn.ps, where nnnn is the RFC number. Log in as anonymous and provide your
e-mail address as the password. Through WAIS, you can use either your local WAIS client or
TELNET to get to DS.INTERNIC.NET and log in as wais (no password required) to access a
WAIS client. Help information and a tutorial for using WAIS are available online. The WAIS
database to search is rfcs.
Directory and Database Services also provides a mail server interface. Send a mail message to
[e-mail] and include any of the following commands in the message
body:
document-by-name rfcnnnn
where nnnn is the RFC number. The text version is sent.
file /ftp/rfc/rfcnnnn.yyy
where nnnn is the RFC number, and yyy is txt or ps.
help
to get information on how to use the mail server.
The InterNIC directory and database services collection of resource listings, internet documents
such as RFCs, FYIs, STDs, and Internet Drafts, and publicly accessible databases are also now
available through Gopher. All collections are WAIS indexed and can be searched from the Gopher
menu.
To access the InterNIC Gopher Servers, please connect to internic.net port 70. Contact:
