I'm using FORG v0.5.1
Woot! This brings back memories of DOS, Unix, and BBS
.. and dial up, using really slow modems...

FORG
I'm speaking to a gopher pro then, nice thin about FORG is that unlike FireFox (which is standard gopher only) is the very nice gopher+ compliance, now if I just knew a few sites that supported gopher+

Works fine in Netscape 7.0 and Camino 1.0b1 on the Mac!
Mozilla 1.5 is the same as Netscape isn't it?

nope, and it doesn't work fine in Netscape because you don't see the information tag and you will have trouble seeing any gopher page that is not on port 70.
Incidentally Netscape 7.0 is based on Mozilla 1.0, Netscape 7.1 & 7.2 are based on Mozilla 1.4. Netscape 8 is based upon FireFox 1.0.3 with the ability to also use the MSIE rendering engine.
