For those of you wanting to easily get the FAQ and buglist via Email,
send a message to:
386bsdfaq@pita.cns.ucla.edu
or
386bsdbuglist@pita.cns.ucla.edu
The subject and content are not important. The software which will return
the file to you is rather simpleminded, but as long as the headers in the
message aren't too badly munged, you should get a reply back. You will
likely get several messages back, as the files get split into parts, each
no more than about 17K.
