    Hej Benny!

    shame on you :)

    Yeah I know I'm a bad, bad boy. However I still have and use lynx with the default gopher capabilities left turned on.

    Yep. Works like a charm. I figured it would make a good BBS. Too bad there are few lynx users to fill the void.

    is it better ?, links is more like a non gui version of seamonkey imho :=)

    thanks for testing, i had reports it did not work, but simply gopher client on windows works, and on android it does aswell

    Hej Benny!

    is it better ?

    lynx is the only web app I currently have that can successfully do gopher protocol. links is a no show thus far but then again I haven't really researched it. I think w3m might also work but to be honest I am happy with lynx and have other uses for it.

    thanks for testing, i had reports it did not work

    It works great. No complaints about it from this direction.
