Use sacc(1) instead, which gives you freedom.
I have added a workaround at /Software/Gopher to present the gopher+ re‐
direct in geomyidae now too. You should be redirected to the root of go‐
pherproject.org now. gopher(1) was sending no hint of expecting a go‐
pher+ reply when requesting its default host. The default host is com‐
piled into the kernel. If you recompile just use some alternative gopher
client.
