Paul, I don't know if you've done this already, but can you tell us a bit more 
about this project?  What I'm really curious about is the thinking behind 
creating a gopher plugin vs. using a standalone server.  What advantages do you 
see in such a design?  Please correct my impression: it seems like you're 
attaching a helium filled balloon to a rock - not in terms of speed concerns, 
but in terms of infrastructure.

I just had a wacky thought - unrelated to the previous paragraph. Many of you 
might have heard that some people have compiled a web server into the Linux 
kernel for some impressive speed gains... I wonder what compiling gopher into 
the linux kernel would be like. :) Anyone trying that? Betcha that would make 
slashdot... :)  A replacement for NFS, perhaps? hmm...
