(I suspect you're on an OS which treats the : as a directory separator
which is why I used the second option on the get line--you will have a file
named lisp6.faq)

Other sites with this include:

	ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/ai/pubs/faqs/lisp/lisp_6.faq

or by email:  "You can also obtain a copy of the FAQ by sending a message
to ai+query@cs.cmu.edu with
  Send Lisp FAQ
in the message body" (from the first part of the FAQ).

Finally, it's also available via WWW:
