Gophers and Wide-Area Information Servers (WAIS) are similiar to Archie, but instead of finding only files, these will find anything related to the search criteria. Gopher may be accessed via a telnet session, or using your web browser. To  access it from a telnet session, simply type "gopher" at the command prompt, then follow the menu system. In a web browser type gopher//servername to access a particular server.
