Some links were dead, some were actually compressed files that download, and
some still work.

This link works on OSX 10.6.3/Firefox 3.6.2  - although I imagine it will
work on many firefox browsers:

gopher://gopher.quux.org/0/Software/Gopher/Mailing%20List.txt

(It's not very interesting though)

Other examples:

gopher://
gopher.quux.org/0/Computers/Standards%20and%20Specs/RFC/docs/rfc1436.txt

gopher://
gopher.quux.org/0/Archives/Mailing%20Lists/gopher/gopher.2002-02?/MBOX-MESSAGE/34

etc.
