• GT 20 as a Terminal Program For Telnet

    From Daryl Stout@TBOLT to All on Mon Jul 20 15:38:59 2020
    While I'm running Synchronet, I was a long time user of GT Power
    for versions 14, 15, 17, 18, and 19...when original author, Paul
    Meiners, was still developing it (I somehow missed version 16).

    Anyway, I know that Tom Watt released GT 20 awhile back, but it
    is either for terminal mode or for a telnet BBS, with the fossil.
    My question is concerning the terminal mode, can GT 20 "telnet"
    to another BBS from the dialing directory?? I know it can still
    do dial-up internet, but there are so few dial-up BBS's left. I
    do have a Fax modem set up on the system, but when I loaded GT 20,
    it noted that certain comports were inoperative. Under Telnet,
    the comport value is basically ignored.

    I think GT still supports RIP graphics, and I was curious to
    see if those would show up on a telnet BBS.
