    Yes, if your virtual modem software supports it. You may not even need the 23 since that is the standard port, although it should not hurt to include it.

    The thing is, I'm running Windows 10, and to my knowledge, it doesn't have a virtual modem, like OS/2 Warp does.

    Oh yeah, Synchronet takes care of that stuff on its own. So, ok, before
    you could use GT Power to do any dialing, you would need to set up some
    kind of virtual modem.

    I don't know much of anything about virtual modem software for Windows.
    There are some folks running DOS BBSes under Windows, though, so you might
    try asking about the software they are using in a general BBSing echo?

    Well, I'm using Synchronet 3.18 under Windows 10 32-bit, so I wouldn't
    lose the legacy doors. If I had to, I could use RIPTel or something similar.

    I think you could install a virtual modem for use with GT, or another
    program, that would not affect Synchronet.

    I guess I'll have to do a search for "Virtual Modems And Windows 10".
