I was using another app before on my PC but I just tried it now on my Mac Classic II with TurboGopher and I can connect to gopher.system7today.com. If you can't connect to that hostname (and you definitely haven't mistyped the hostname) and you're getting a message about "fails to resolve the target" then that says you probably have some issues with the DNS setup on your Mac.Hmm not sure what I’m doing wrong. Maybe I got the irl wrong? What app are you using? I’m trying with turbogopher…
