I am wondering if there is a gopher client for OSX.

I know MS killed gopher in IIS4 (if memory serves). Nobody was using it and it was a big hole. But I kinda wish it would make a come back. No banner ads. No flash plug-ins, no graphics. Just hard core internet.

Can gopher be access via the Terminal app?

Mozilla supports the gopher protocol but has some issues with it.

yes via telnet.

OmniWeb 4.1 seems to. Couldn't find that many servers, tho, so I don't know how well.
