    Well, here's my local copy of RFC 1700:
    
    http://rgfsparc.cr.usgs.gov:8090/sysadmin/rfc/rfc1700.txt
    
    My favorite RFC search engine is at 
    
    http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html
    
    Here's a useful compilation posted some time ago on one of the lists.  
    Unfortunately, I forgot who put it up.  I apologize profusely to the 
    author.
