Currently this goes to a refresh page, which Lynx doesn't automatically proceed past: ←←←→→→ Bucktooth Redirect to URL: http://www.floodgap.com/→ REFRESH(5 sec): http://www.floodgap.com/ You are following a link from gopher to another URL or protocol. You will be automatically taken to the site shortly. If you don't get sent there, please click here to go to the site. The URL linked is: http://www.floodgap.com/ _________________________________________________________________ generated by bucktooth 0.2.9 I'll take a look at what's needed to make it handle the url (patches are as usual welcome...) -- Thomas E.
