RFCs can be obtained via FTP from FTP.ISI.EDU, with the pathname in- notes/rfcnnnn.txt (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC). Login with FTP username "anonymous" and password "name@host.domain".

RFCs can also be obtained via electronic mail from ISI.EDU by using the RFC-INFO service. Address the request to "rfc-info@isi.edu" with a message body of:

           Retrieve: RFC
              Doc-ID: RFCnnnn

(Where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC (always use 4 digits - the DOC-ID of RFC 822 is "RFC0822")). The RFC-INFO@ISI.EDU server provides other ways of selecting RFCs based on keywords and such; for more information send a message to "rfc-info@isi.edu" with the message body "help: help".
