   Yeah, that's the problem with a lot of these ideas I've been having. A lot of   
   FTN and BBS technology is either abandoned or outdated, at least by modern   
   standards, even for all  the history and potential there is.   
      
   I started out looking for decent ways to connect with BBSes on my phone. Most   
   of the Telnet apps aren't really optimized for BBS use from what I've seen,   
   and the one that I have found that I actually like, fTelnet, has been   
   problematic for me at best. At least the Android App version.    
   But even with that, I've always preferred the message areas offline. And there   
   isn't a QWK or Bluewave reader app for Android. There are 2 Point system ,   
   HotdogEd and Aftershock, both of which are buggy, and have had little or no   
   development in a few years.   
      
   There is a project gating some Fidonet echoes to Telegram, a group chat   
   program, but it's a different way that takes getting used to, and is somewhat   
   limited.   
      
   Reading back over this, it looks somewhat negative, which isn't what I am   
   going for.  I just can picture clearly in my head so many possibilities, but   
   I'm frustrated that I don't see the development I know is possible. And I   
   don't yet have the skills to do it myself.   
      
   --   
   Best regards!
