Well, there used to be one at the w3c, but they got buried in requests so
they shut theirs down.  Fortunately, they made the perl source for the
program available, so individuals could put up their own servers.

I've done such at my small WWW service company (yes, MINE!); the
address is:

                        agora@dardan.com

Just send a message, no subject, with a message body of "send URL";
if you put "deep URL", the server will not only send the document, but
all the documents refernced by it.

Any questions or problems about this gateway should be sent to me
via "WebMaster@Dardan.COM".

Yours in LFS,
-packy, Sect 88 staff

ps.  I'd rather not be buried by requests, so let's keep this address
    amongst brothers, ok?  Thanks!
