I am using a Win 11 to test out Synchronet, and it will work.  If I can figure it out, I may host it on a leased server.  I think I can do that for $70 a year.  I am struggling with the network setup, so I may just forget about it.

Thanks for the info.  I will still give it a try on the Linux machine, just to see if I can do it.
