This is a DECstation 5000/125, belongs to the Department of Mathmatics of National Central University (國立中央大學). It's hostname is dongpo.math.ncu.edu.tw (東坡), IP address 140.115.25.3. This gopher server is normally established at port 70. This server virtually serves information maintained by other sites at Chiao Tong (交通), Chung-Cheng (中正) and Sun Yat-Sen (中山) Universities in Taiwan, as well as some international sites with general interests and our local concerns in mathematics. Locally, we do maintain a database for the gopher world. Basically, Chinese literature. The editor knows it doesn't sound like a responsibility of a Mathematics department. It just so happen that a few faculty members here support this idea and they find volunteers to manage it. The database is divided into three top level directories: Buddhism Chinese Literature Chinese Poem Below this top level, classic Chinese in Big-5 code is used for some directory names. If your gopher client cannot read it, you may (1) Change to another client program; (2) Get some hint from the server at National Chiao Tong University, read the file "About the CSIE Gopher" (交通大學資訊工程系). (3) Ignore it, since your client may still read the Chinese contents. Directories and files have self-explained names, I hope. Acknoledgments is impossible to be complete at this moment. Most of the materail were input by friends on CHPOEM-L over a few years. Another portion were input by innocent students who took an introductory computer science course. Larger works are stored in "Chinese Literature". They are acknoledged more properly in each file. In either cases, there are typos or missing characters that wait for your correction.
