   Yep.  The former server was my own: there was also a gopher.route-add.net 
host.  But that was the time when those host names both resolved to 
80.68.194.26, that was my ADSL connection's public IP address.  I now no 
longer have an ADSL connection and I had to move my mail and web servers to 
a hosting facility (alessandro.route-add.net now resolves into 
195.182.210.150) that does not offer a gopher service as an option to its 
customers.

   About the deploying of a UMN gopherd server: though things might have 
changed since then, on march 13th 2004 John Goerzen wrote the following 
commenting my running a public UMN gopherd 3.0.3 server:

	Gopherd is no longer maintained.  Security holes were being
	found in it on a regular basis, and nobody really had the
	inclination to give it a thorough security audit given the
	fact that more advanced Gopher servers existed.  Therefore,
	I would strongly urge you *NOT* to deploy UMN Gopherd.
