By e-mail
Use RFC-Info by sending email messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1.  To get a specific RFC send a message with text as follows:

        Retrieve: RFC
         Doc-ID: RFC1500

This gets RFC 1500.  All RFC numbers in the Doc-Id are 4 digits
(RFC 791 would be Doc-ID: RFC0791).

2.  To get a specific FYI send a message with text as follows:

        Retrieve: FYI
         Doc-ID: FYI0004

3.  To get a list of available RFC's that match a certain criteria:

        LIST: RFC
         Keywords: Gateway

Returns a list of RFC's with the word Gateway in the title or
specified as a keyword.

4.  To get the Index of all RFCs published:

        HELP: rfc_index

5.  To get information about other ways to get RFCs, FYIs, STDs, or
IMRs.

        HELP: ways_to_get_rfcs
        HELP: ways_to_get_fyis
        HELP: ways_to_get_stds
        HELP: ways_to_get_imrs

6.  To get help about using RFC-Info:

        HELP: help

    or

        HELP: topics

By FTP
You can download the entire collection of RFCs or various subsets, in
either .tar.gz format for Unix systems or .zip format for Windows.  Pay
attention to the approximate sizes shown: some of these are BIG
files.
See ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/tar/
