What on earth were you doing looking for RFCs at random?  Most archives
carry *all* the RFCs in an FTP archive.  Throw away that new-fangled web
crap and point an FTP client at your nearest (electonically) FTP archive.

For example, all the RFCs can be found at Demon, on ftp.demon.co.uk, in
the directory /pub/doc/rfc.  There's a number of files therein that are
indices to the various RFCs, STDs, FYIs, etc.

For those outside Demon, then try sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk, in directory
/pub/RFC (note the upper-case).

Of course, an Archie search might have revealed more than AltaVista (but
not the Demon archive).
