    From Don Lowery@1:340/1000 to All on Saturday, June 20, 2020 00:42:41
    Between the brownouts during calm weather & attempting to get Arca to answer
    on something other than port 23...is there anything I need to edit in the
    HOSTS & SERVICES files or any other files to open up non-standard ports?
    Using DD-WRT...am confused which "port forwarding" section I need to set up
    for these ports...combined with anything in Arca.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm assuming you're using SIO/VMODEM here.

    Go into the \mptn\etc\services file. Comment out the telnet ports and add something like this:

    vmotelnet 10123/tcp
    vmotelnet 10123/udp

    Save and reboot.

    That's what I do here.

    Note you can only have one telnet port open. You can't double-dip. :D

    To quote a yellow man with "perfect" kids...D'OH! Will do this tomorrow while waiting for Windows 10 to reload itself on an 480 GB SSD I got in yesterday on this box.

    Thanks again!

    Sure thing. It's covered in more detail in the VMODEM docs.

    You know, those documents we never read. <G>

    It took me twenty years to figure it out ...
