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.
