I highly recommend Synapse over Indy.
I had great troubles a year or so ago when I tried using some serial packages
based on synapse because they brought in GUI stuff that made it impossible to
compile a simple program aimed at running as a service on a server style linux

Yes, because you were using the wrong package.
If you use the correct package (laz_synapse.lpk), there will be no issue.
See e.g. here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/synalist/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
But you can install it using the Online package manager.
In the online package manager, DO NOT use the pl_synapsevs package.
You myst use the laz_synapse (Synapse 40.1) package.
It does not have GUI dependencies.
I use it myself in a headless FPC-created server running on linux, since many
many
years, and use it in a Delphi-created server also running on linux, so I'm very
confident it works as described :-)
