- I have been able to get on the Cleveland Freenet from a gopher
- server without being asked for my University of Michigan account.
- It involved going through a series of menus to get from the U-M
- gopher ("um-gopherblue"--I forgot the telnet number) to the
- Michigan State University gopher. The MSU gopher allowed me to
- telnet to the Cleveland Freenet. (I'll get the telnet number and
- the menus I went through in a message to be posted November 22
- or 23.) So getting on a freenet without being asked for some
- university or company account depends on what access you have to
- a "gopher server"--all the gophers are pretty much interconnec-
- ted, so anyone can get to the MSU or U-M gopher with the right
- sequence of menus. -Mark Rabinowitz
