RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "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 RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".
