Hallo Benny!

 BP> you will love it when it comes,

We'll soon see ... I hope.

 BP> hope you have cabled backup, just in case bt fucks up :)

If that is the case I'll just use the virtual one in termux.  I am trying to keep everything compact and potentially on the go.  I use it to test my wireless hosts so it needs to be mobile so I can find and hopefully fix dead spots around the neighbourhood.  A cabled keyboard will get in the way.  Also the keyboard I ordered comes in a case that allows the tablet to fit into and look like a tiny laptop.  Also, also, there is only one usb connector on the tablet which I use for other things such as power and external drives etc.

Anyhow as you saw it does work and the two msgs I sent both went out wirelessly via the custom binkd I built for it, which means I should be able to connect to the fidonet node here from anywhere in the world.  I could also set up the Europoint's binkd to accept msgs from it but I don't really need to do that.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
