[gopher] Re: test
No, I didn't see that post.
I have been in touch with John Goerzen, and just like Cameron Kaiser and his FloodGap, I am not sure that hosting the archive would be a good thing for JumpJet.
Like I suggested to Mr. Goerzen, I think the ideal solution would be to set up a dedicated Gopher Server just for, and ONLY for, this static archive. Due to the fact that this archive is really just the equivalent of a "backup tape", the requirements for a Server would be minimal (persons would not access this archive very often because the original source Servers would always be more up to date, and probably on a faster internet connections as well).
I could easily see using an obsolete PC with a 60-80 Gb hard drive (an old Pentium 3 should be quite sufficient), on an inexpensive (i.e. slow) Internet connection. I would also recommend that the Veronica-2 index on FloodGap NOT index this server, as persons should always be going to the original source Servers first (this server should appear in the FloodGap "all the worlds Gopher holes" list though).
