I was going through some old things on Gopher recently and came across information about WideAreaInformationServers. The problem I am having is figuring out if there are any still in operation and if so, how you would access them in this day and age. If anyone has info on this topic, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Can you provide a link to this OpenWAIS project? I have not been able to find it myself. Thanks.

That's going to take some digging. If you search around on Gopher it's out there.
