SERVICE is an automatic mail program provided by the NIC.
It allows access to NIC online files and information via
ordinary electronic mail. This is especially useful for
people who do not have access to the NIC via a direct Inter-
net link. Users can request publicly accessible files and
searches in the WHOIS database via this server. Replies are
batched and sent back overnight.
SERVICE looks only at the subject line of a message. These
are the services currently available:
HELP A help message with a list of current services.
HOST xxx Returns information about host xxx. WHOIS xxx
can also be used to get more details about
a host.
IEN nnn nnn is the IEN number or the word INDEX.
NETINFO xxx xxx is a file name or the word INDEX.
RFC nnn nnn is the RFC number or the word INDEX.
