Welcome to Floodgap Systems' official gopher server.
Floodgap has served the gopher community since 1999
(formerly gopher.ptloma.edu).
We run Bucktooth 0.2.9 on xinetd as our server system.
gopher.floodgap.com is an IBM Power 520 Express with a 2-way
4.2GHz POWER6 CPU and 8GB of RAM, running AIX 6.1 +patches.
Send gopher@floodgap.com your questions and suggestions.
