You wanted to host it there also?

:-/ If you want you can do as you please with my words. Maybe we can rig up a proper gopher style website that is actually useful -- news, bbs, trading post, craigslist proxy, etc.

To add to this Guide, I figured out that you can connect to an 10.2.8 (or earlier, maybe Panther as well) with just Classic Networking, and the need for OpenTransport is really required for 10.4.x or higher. Knowing that, you can make a System 7 boot floppy (7.5 is a bit too big) that can be a restore disk if something bad happens. Considering that the OpenTransport 1.3 files take up about 1.5MB space to begin with, not to mention AppleShare Client 3.7.4, you can adjust your options a little bit.

I don't know what System 7.0.1 and OpenTransport work like, I know OpT is compatible with nearly all versions of OS 7, but I don't know if OpT 1.3 is limited to 7.5.5 minimum or not. You may need to FTP into a 10.4.x or higher system to file transfer.
