Someone should start a FAQ for this newsgroup....
here is the piece from the comp.protocols.iso.X400 FAQ:
4) Where can I FTP the X.400 standards?
=======================================
Officially, you can't.
The OSI community has a large number of organizations that derive
revenue from *selling* copies of these standards.
The CCITT, not being funded in that way, made an experiment in which
they made all the CCITT documents available for anonymous FTP, but
that experiment will terminate on December 31, 1991, to be replaced by a
service run out of the ITU offices in Geneva at some later date.
The net result is that there are a lot of electronic copies out there,
but it is not legal to make them available for anonymous FTP after
December 31, 1991.
Note: This applies ONLY to the CCITT documents; ISO standards have
never been put on the network.
