Reading?  What's that?

Note that the client connects the <second> time.  No, the problem is that
the call to resolve the name is returning before the line comes up, and
its coming back "no answer".

This is true for at least Trumpet and WinQVT.  I learned quickly to tell it
to connect (opening it does the trick).  On the other hand, you have to
click "CONNECT" on the Chameleon stuff.  Big deal.  If you get knocked off
you click the box again.  No effect on your sessions as long as a keepalive
doesn't nail you.  In fact, if you do lose the line it'll come up and ask
if you want to reconnect.

Not me.

Subject: Stable, easy to use gopher client?
Cc: [e-mail], [e-mail]
Reply-To: [e-mail]

Hello,

I'm looking for a gopher client for winsock.  Freeware, shareware, or
commercial products are OK.  I've heard mention of HGopher and WinGopher.  Can
anyone provide feedback on these or other products?

Thanks in advance,

Stacy
