   Hello Alan,   
      
   Saturday October 17 2020 18:46, you wrote to Matt Munson:

    AI> much of a leap that is.   
      
   Android apps are written in Java which means Syncterm and Multimail would have   
   to be rewritten in Java.   
      
   There is already an excellent term program called fTelnet, which is available   
   in the Google Play store, that works well for telneting to a BBS.   
      
   As for Multimail, that might take a considerable amount of work since it   
   depends on other programs (such as zip and unzip and an external editor) to be   
   ported.  It would be better if someone wrote an Android-specific mail reader.   
      
   Now I do know that in newer Chromebooks, a Linux VM is included so you can run   
   native Linux programs.  This is like the WSL in Windows 10.   
      
   Later,   
   Sean
