GT 20 as a Terminal Program For Telnet

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.
