Cool. If you can get a gopher client for System6, you can
fetch:

gopher://magical.fish
gopher://sdf.org
gopher://synchro.net
gopher://bitreich.org/1/lawn

Also, via IRC, you can join the servers from 

http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/servers.html

And then, by joining the "&bitlbee" channel (not a typo, 
it's &bitlbee ). and then by running 
the 'plugins' commmand you will be able to check
which protocols can you use with an account 
in that server. The usage it's odd but it will 
expand your capabilities for system6 greatly.
