While conventional wisdom has it that wireless Access Points are
strictly Layer 2 bridges, such devices today perform some higher
functions that are performed by routers or switches in wired networks
in addition to bridging between wired and wireless networks. For
example, in 802.11 networks, Access Points can function as Network
Access Servers. For this reason, Access Points have IP addresses and
can function as IP devices.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-calhoun-seamoby-lwapp-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
