  19. I must say that I agree, and I suspect that most other people will,
  20. too.  One of the major advantages of gopher that I can see is that the
  21. protocol is simple enough that building clients is trivial; for people
  22. who want an `pure' interface, there's always the one you mentioned:
  23. telnet.
