Hey Charles!
MK>> that binkd for Android works just fine.

I believe that a point approach with binkd for contacting and exchanging pkt's
with the mothership (bossnode) is the way to go with mobile single user
devices. Currently I have 3 wireless APs working (hostapd) x86_64's that have
working binkd at their disposal that can/could give access to the broader
fidonet network. They are definetly potential access points for Android and
iOS based devices.
CP> It won't be something everyone would want to use.
Like me for instance? I am not a fan of so-called smart devices ... to say the
least. Also the 10.1" tablet I was using for testing had a battery go bad on
it and I am not keen to replace it given the cost. I'd rather buy a new one
... if indeed I feel a need to port and test fidonet apps on a crippled single
user system such as Android.
Having said that, it looks to be doable. I was using termux for Android to
provide the bash enviroment for Android. I am unsure if a similar strategy
could be deployed on iOS.
Life is good,
Maurice
