Success! (so far)
In testing the telnet connection, I discovered my firewall blocked serveral ports. After opening the winlink.org telnet port 8772 I was able able to successfully connect with telnet! Running Pat, I was able to attempt to send an email, which created a Winlink account. Going to mention this elsewhere because I think it is not covered enough! 1/27/2019
