Note on Finding Online Documents
Items identified as ~RFCs are Requests For Comments, Internet documents which either set forth standards or provide useful information on various topics related to the Internet and its protocols. Instructions for accessing these and most other online documents via ~Gopher are included in each item. You must be running a ~gopher ~client on your Internet-connected machine (or must be able to telnet to a ~public ~gopher ~client (e.g., gopher.msu.edu) if you are connected via ~dial-up [through a modem]). Two access methods are used. When directed to "point your gopher", press 'o' ("oh" not zero) and then type the address given. Then use the following menu entries to find the document. Note that sites sometimes change menus, in which case it may be necessary to browse to find the document. When directed to "Access via Veronica keyword search", select the 'Veronica' or 'Search Gopherspace' or similar entry on whichever ~gopher ~server to which your client has connected you, and when instructed to enter a keyword, type the word(s) given in the item.
