For the ftp site on RFC:

	1. ftp nic.ddn.mil

	2. login with name "anonymous" and password "guest".

	once logged in, make a connection to the correct directory:

	3. cd rfc:
	   and send password "ascii" after you are asked.

	4. It's s good idea to get an introduction and index first:

	   get rfc-index.txt


Or, you can e-mail to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and indicate the RFC you need
in subject.(e.g. SUBJECT: RFC XXX).
