	   I am interested in placing the current version of 
   a draft standard from IEEE 802.6 in a public ftp site.  Does
   anyone know of any other ANSI/IEEE groups that do this?  If not,
   is there any known legal problem?  If this is done elsewhere, 
   which sites are currently being used?

I was under the impression that the IEEE does *NOT* make standards available
electronically for two basic reasons:  (1) Money - the revenue from selling
the standards goes to support the standards process and (2) the difficulty of
ensuring that the standard you get is in fact the correct, unadulterated
standard.
