Those look like some good ideas.  I think one nice thing to have would be a
mobile telnet client for Androidthat renders BBS ANSI well.  I seem to
remember there being a fairly decent telnet client available for Android which
works with BBSes, but it doesn't render ANSI well..

And although I don't have an iOS device anymore, there's one I used to use on
my oldiPod Touch called iSSH that actually had good ANSI BBS rendering.
However, I've heard that iSSH has since been pulled from theApple app store.
