RFC 1594 (rfc1594)

RFC 1594 (rfc1594): " Here is information about obtaining the USENET FAQs, courtesy of
Gene Spafford:

Many questions can be answered by consulting the most recent
postings in the news.announce.newusers and news.lists groups. If
those postings have expired from your site, or you do not get
news, you can get archived postings from the FTP server on the
host rtfm.mit.edu.

These archived postings include all the Frequently Asked Questions
posted to the news.answers newsgroups, as well as the most recent
lists of Usenet newsgroups, Usenet-accessible mailing lists, group
moderators, and other Usenet-related information posted to the
news.announce.newusers and news.lists groups.

To get the material by FTP, log in using anonymous FTP (userid of
anonymous and your email address as password).

The archived files, and FAQ files from other newsgroups, are all
in the directory:

/pub/usenet/news.answers"
