    Hey Night_Spider, if you are stuck "calling" a BBS with an iphone or an ipad, check out the MuffinTerm app. It is a great ANSI capable terminal for iOS. Be sure to set your user config on each BBS to ANSI for best results. FYI, ANSI is the "graphics" standard that most BBS's support.

    I'm not Night_Spider, but for me, a big factor that I think makes
    BBSing on a smartphone difficult is the lack of a physical keyboard. I type a lot better on a physical keyboard. Also, hotkeys using Ctrl & things like that are a lot easier on a physical keyboard too.

    I agree - EXCEPT - using 'speech to text' to ME is easier on a
    phone. :-)

    Not if your writing a program. Trust me, I've tried.

    I think I have a dumb blonde model. <G> It's like "auto correct
    and auto complete have become my own worst enema". <G>

    I'm trying to imagine controlling vi with speech to text.

    Heh, I have enough trouble using Vi with my fingers. Notepad++ is my editor of choice.
