- Gateway
The
technical meaning is a hardware or software set-up that
translates between two dissimilar protocols, for example
Prodigy has a gateway that translates between its internal,
proprietary e-mail format and Internet e-mail format. Another,
sloppier meaning of gateway is to describe any mechanism
for providing access to another system, e.g. AOL might be
called a gateway to the Internet.

- Gopher
A
widely successful method of making menus of material available
over the Internet. Gopher is a Client and Server
style program, which requires that the user have a Gopher
Client program. Although Gopher spread rapidly across
the globe in only a couple of years, it has been largely
supplanted by Hypertext, also known as WWW (World Wide
Web). There are still thousands of Gopher Servers
on the Internet and we can expect they will remain for a
while.
