To use any of these, you would type telnet hostname and then log in with
gopher or the appropriate login specified in the table. For example,
UNC is the University of North Carolina (one of the first two Usenet
sites!), and I would like to see how they've set up their Gopher system. I type
telnet sunsite.unc.edu, and when I'm prompted for an account, I type
gopher. It immediately shows me the choices at UNC.
