What do you mean by "standard Gopher client"? Because I tried three
different gopher clients:
* Lynx
* iGopher (on the iPad)
* custom written gopher client
and each of them had no problems with the page listed. I see a bunch of
IFDB entry links, followed by some text and a bullet list, followed by some
more text.
