 DL> Had :2300 in the setup...but :23 kept answering/disconnecting on her end.

it appears, from what's been written here, that your terminal, whatever it
is/was, wasn't attempting to connect to the remote system's port 2300 for some
reason... it appears that it was using the default port 23 instead... different
 terminals (and virtual modems if using such for old DOS programs) have
different ways of specifying the destination port to connect to... quite many
of them do not use the defacto standard of today where you tack a colon and the
 port on to the end of the domain address... some use another character in
place of the colon... some use an AT command to change the destination port...
it depends on the implementation...

if you provide a little more detail on what terminal and possible virtual modem
 setup you used, i'm sure that someone will provide a pointer on how to connect
 to a non-standard port...
