   Hej Mike!   
      
   > Thanks for the tip, I don't think I was aware that lynx could do gopher.   
      
   According to './configure --help';   
      
   Other Network Services:   
     --disable-finger        disable FINGER logic   
     --disable-gopher        disable GOPHER logic   
     --disable-news          disable NEWS logic   
     --disable-ftp           disable FTP logic   
     --enable-wais           enable WAIS logic   
      
   It looks like it is enabled by default, along with finger, news and ftp   
   protocols.  I use lynx mostly for converting html to text and in that case   
   'lynx -help' will give you all the gory details in order to create an   
   excellent commandline and/or shell scripted html2text function.  I can see the   
   gopher capabilties being attractive for a minimalized, low bandwidth app on a   
   smartphone to a properly configured gopher server tasked to provide such a   
   desirable connection.
