I did some of the scout work for the network treasure hunt. If you
have "gopher" installed on your system, point it at
Msen gopher (gopher.msen.com)
Lots of interesting things
Network Treasure Hunt
You'll see gopher links to WAIS servers, library catalogs, WHOIS and
X.500 name servers, and much of the rest of what I think you'd need
to solve the problems.
None of the actual *answers* are there, just the resources. And you'll
need to poke around some even so just to get some use out of these,
what with not everything being set up the same way.
If you don't have gopher you can get the software from
boombox.micro.umn.edu:/pub/gopher
by anonymous FTP. Or telnet to
consultant.micro.umn.edu; login: gopher
to connect up.

even know existed can render your own computer unusable. (Leslie Lamport)
