    I think that's already covered by the stored dial strings feature: https://wiki.synchro.net/util:svdm#dialing

    e.g. AT&Z0=mybbs.com:23
    dialing "S0" would result in a call to "mybbs.com:23".

    Is this not a working solution for portal of power?

    It is a workaround yes, that I can use in the short term.

    But what I was hoping was a mailer to read a nodelist, that has a curated phone number in the nodelist and being able to call that number (which is translated into a hostname:port by the ini file).

    Right, just make the number S# (where # is 0-19). If you need more number storage, I can accomodate that.

    What I havent tested yet, is how long an init string I can use (to store the &Z0 numbers), because I think that is also a limitation.

    When you write the settings (using AT&W), the saved numbers are written to the .ini file. You don't need to use your modem init string for this. You can add and modify the saved numbers in the .ini file directly as well.

    I think it would be a good enhancement, but I could probably get by with the workaround if my init string can be long enough..

    Now that you know you don't need to use the init string, let me know if you still think there's an issue with the current feature set. I'm happy to add more if needed.
