Short content description
-------------------------

The RIPE NCC receives an increasing amount of questions
about the protability or provider independence
of address space. This document provides  guidance  to European Internet
registries concerning  these issues.

FTP Access
----------
All RIPE documents and Internet RFC`s are available via anonymous FTP
from host ftp.ripe.net.  Type "ftp ftp.ripe.net". 

Login with username "anonymous" supplying your email address as the 
password.  After logging in, type "cd ripe/docs/" followed 
by the command "get filename". 

The relevant filenames for this document are:

	ripe-127.txt	for the ASCII version
	ripe-127.ps	for the PostScript version
 

Electronic Mail Retrieval of Documents
--------------------------------------
Documents can also be retrieved from the RIPE document store using a
mail server program.  For more information on how to use the program,
send email to: mail-server@localhost with "send HELP" in the body text. 

RIPE NCC Interactive Information Server
---------------------------------------
Type "telnet info.ripe.net".  This is a menu driven service allows
the document store to be browsed.  After reading documents you are
prompted as to whether you would like to receive an email copy of the
document you have just read.  If you would, you simply enter your email
address and the document will be mailed to you. 

Below are details of alternative methods of access.
 
Gopher Access
-------------
The same documents are available via a "gopher" server at
"gopher gopher.ripe.net".

WAIS Access
-----------
There is also a "WAIS" server at wais.ripe.net, where there is a WAIS index
for RIPE documents "ripe-docs.src" 

WWW Access
----------
For those who wish to add this home page at the RIPE NCC to their own
customized home pages, it can be accessed as:

http://www.ripe.net           
 
 
MIME Mail Reader
----------------
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant Mail Reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the RIPE document by
FTP or mail server.
