it appears that maybe my ISP is blocking port 70 as I am not able to connect from remote.
I can confirm that lynx connects to http://capitolcityonline.net but not gopher://capitolcityonline.net. I know "lynx gopher://" works as I have successfully connected to hosts on port 70.
I figured out why it wasn't working... I had closed the port on my router.
That said, I also think I figured out why I did so. I was able to lynx to
it but, as there is apparently no way to log on via the synchronet gopher pages, so you are presented with a rather small selection of message
groups and file areas, none of which are accessible without a logon.
So all you get is the main page and links that don't function.
I closed port 70 back up. ;)
