Windows Firewall getting in the way? Or some "internet security" snakeoil? |

I am getting the same under Linux when using the bookmarks.
Using D option for connecting with the right port added works.
The keyboard mapping is a mess for me though :) |

I hope you use the port number after the address, after a space, nothing else. |

It can be tricky with CGterm, which does seem to need an update in order to run optimally under contemporary Windows. It is do:able though, as many use it to connect to my BBS (Boar's Head Tavern, byob.hopto.org : 64128).
With regards to Linux and keyboard mapping did Grip write a little primer some weeks ago: https://datagubbe.se/cgterm/ |

so it has to be
cottonwoodbbs.dyndns.org port#
not a : between adress and port# ? |

My cgterm config file looks like this:
bookmark = Boars Head Tavern, byob.hopto.org, 64128
...and that works fine. |

That's correct. Just a space between host and port when starting cgterm from the command line. |
