VII.b Pointing to other kinds of servers
----------------------------------------
GopherSpace contains more than just gopher servers.  For example, aFTP servers
and CSO (Phone Book) servers can be accessed.

Pointing to a CSO server simply amounts to defining a link as follows:

	Name=Phone Book Lookup
	Type=2
	Port=105
	Host=psulias.psu.edu
	Path=

Note that it's a CSO lookup type, value 2.  Most gopher clients understand the
Type=2 such that they transmit and receive a different protocol, the CSO Phone
Book protocol, when communicating with the CSO server at the host
"psulias.psu.edu" on port 105.  Note this is the only involvement the server
has with a CSO lookup.  No code to support CSO operations is contained within
the gopher server.

Bruce Tanner of Cerritos College has implemented a first pass at qi (the Unix
CSO server) for OpenVMS.  Version 1.3 is available by Gopher or aFTP from his
server @cerritos.edu.

Pointing to an FTP server simply amounts to defining a link as follows:

	Name=aFTP gateway to NIORD
	Type=1
	Port=70
	Host=sci.wfeb.edu
	Path=ftp:Niord.SHSU.edu@/

Note that it's an aFTP gateway type, Path=ftp:.  The gopher server on port 70
at sci.wfeb.edu will connect to the aFTP host Niord.SHSU.edu, interpret its
file and directory names in a manner consistent with gopher, and supply a
gopher menu of the root directory at that aFTP site to the gopher client,
which may subsequently request additional accesses to the files and/or
directories listed in that menu.
