I didnt see a FAQ, please forgive me if this is a faq type
question and there is one...

I would like to get electronic copies of ISO documents,
is there any ftp site with them online?  In particular
I need the two reguarding HDLC (iso 3309-1979 and the
3309:1984 addendum).   Replies via email would be 
appreciated..

I quote from the FAQ, which was not sent out last month because of a bug
in the upgrade procedures for my OS:

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 terminated 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.
