      http://www.rfc-editor.org.

   At this URL, a user can:

   (a) Obtain the current "Internet Official Protocol Standards" list.

       This hyper-linked listing is updated daily.

         http://www.rfc-editor.org/go.html, and select STD and "1".

   (c) Retrieve text of any RFC.  See:

         http://www.rfc-editor.org/go.html

   (d) Search for RFCs by category.  See:

         http://www.rfc-editor.org/category.html

   (e) Search the RFC index for document number, author, title, and/or
       keywords, and retrieve the text of any matching documents.  See:

         http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html

   RFC information can also be retrieved using FTP or email.

2.3. Retrieval using FTP

   RFC-related files may be copied via FTP from the FTP.RFC-EDITOR.ORG
   computer using the FTP username "anonymous" and password
   "name@host.domain".  An FTP user can:

   (a) Retrieve the latest version of this STD 1 memo.

         File: "in-notes/std/std1.txt"

   (b) Retrieve text of any RFC.

       File: "in-notes/rfcnnnn.txt" will retrieve the ASCII version.
       Some RFCs also have secondary Postscript and/or PDF versions,
       available from File: "in-notes/rfcnnnn.ps" and/or
       "in-notes/rfcnnnn.pdf", respectively.

       Here "nnnn" is a 1-4 digit RFC number, with no leading zeros.

2.4. Search and Retrieval Using Email

   To use the RFC Editor's email-based RFC-INFO service, send a request
   to:

      RFC-INFO@RFC-EDITOR.ORG

   In the message body, include your information request.  For example,
   the following message bodies may be used.

   (a) To retrieve the latest version of this STD 1 memo:

         Retrieve: STD
            Doc-ID: STD0001

   (b) To retrieve ASCII text of any RFC:

         Retrieve: RFC
            Doc-ID: RFCnnnn

       Here "nnnn" must be filled with leading zeros to 4 digits.

   (c) The RFC-INFO@RFC-EDITOR.ORG server provides other capabilities,
       e.g., search and retrieval based on author, title, and/or
       keyword.  For more information, send the following message body
       to the server:
