[gopher] Alternative Gopher Access

[JumpJet Mailbox <jumpjetinfo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Most persons are aware of the Gopher via HTTP gateways from such websites as 
  http://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/index.html
  and
  http://quux.org:70/
   
  However, unless you viewed gopher://home.jumpjet.info/hh\access.htm recently, 
you may not have known that  there are sites that let you access Gopher without 
either a Gopher Client or a Web Browser!   
   
   
  If you have Telnet access you can access Gopher via a Telneted Public Lynx 
Browser:
  telnet://lynx.scramworks.net/
   
  You will be asked to enter your Email address (their method of preventing 
abuse), and then your terminal type (I suggest typing "VT100").  You will now 
have full command of a Lynx Browser (ver 2.8.6 dev 13), which will let you 
explore both Gopher and web pages.  
   
   
  Alternatively there is a slower method.  If you have Email, you can have the 
output of a Gopher or web URL emailed to you.  Send Email to:
  www4mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   
  Leave the subject blank.  In the body type two lines.  In the first line just 
enter a "carriage return", and in the second line type GET and the URL: ( GET 
gopher://home.jumpjet.info ).  
   
  The message that comes back to your Inbox will look something like this:
