[gopher] Re: Gopher client

[Matthew Holevinski <eylusion@xxxxxxxxx>]

God I really wish my firewall didn't block the gopher port... *sigh*
I know there is an gopher browser site out there that runs out of a
web page, but it's just not the same...

Anyone out there have a really good reason or excuse you think i could
lie with and somehow convince
my IT department that I need it for business purposes :) hahaha
