I think you use Telnet--and at the telnet prompt type
 
open gopher.upenn.edu
 
That should get you into the gopher menu.

Once you get into the gopher menu at Penn, you need to proceed through
the various menus by making (in this order) the following choices:
 
3. Gopher Servers at Penn
1. Center for Computer Analysis of Texts
5.  CCAT Text ARchives
 
Then choose the number for SHAKESPEARE.
 
But other choices may get you there are well.  Just play around
with the various options.  Type 'u' to go up one menu-level.  Use
'shift-?' for more information.

See above.  I don't think you can access ccat.sas.upenn.edu port
without a password (i.e., being a Penn faculty member).  What
you need to do is to telnet as described above.
