    ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION OPENS GOPHER SERVER TO THE INTERNET

The Electronic Frontier Foundation announced today that they now offer
access to their online document library via the Internet Gopher protocol,
developed at the University of Minnesota.  Gopher access joins WAIS,
electronic mail service, and anonymous ftp as an electronic means of
access to EFF documents.

Gopher clients are available for Mac, NeXT, GNU Emacs, X11, VM/CMS, VMS,
and curses interfaces.  Many of these are available for anonymous ftp from
boombox.micro.umn.edu in pub/gopher.  Those without clients can telnet to
consultant.micro.umn.edu and login as "gopher" to try it out.  (EFF's
Gopher server is listed under "Other Gopher and Information Servers".)

The EFF Gopher service is available on gopher.eff.org, port 70.  WAIS
access is available on wais.eff.org, port 210.  Anonymous ftp access to
the document library is available on ftp.eff.org, in directory pub/EFF.
Mail service is handled through archive-server@eff.org; use "index eff"
for a list of documents and document sections.

For more information on the EFF or online access to our documents, send
electronic or postal mail to the addresses below.
