Hi Brian,
Good to see other people also interested in Gopher.
As it stands, I don't think the software will work on anything other than a zimodem device. It (zimodem) uses a slightly quirky packet-based protocol for downloading files. This is useful if you're using BASIC as you don't have to worry about the speed. However, when I change the loader to machine code, I could probably accommodate a more generic approach and just grab the entire page from the RS432 input buffer as it downloads.
