I like using BBS, but i can't bring my laptop anywhere with me. is
there a way to log onto a BBS on our phones from the future? I use an
android phone, and want to BBS on the go.

here

I have a long standing BRE and LORD game going somewhere and will
probably purge out when I head out of the country in a few months.
It’s almost enough to get me to bring my laptop with me… but nah.

Id like to revise this after getting feedback from MuffinTerm for IOS
iphone.

MuffinTerm (after the coming update for arrow keys) will be by far the
best option!

Not well, to be honest. Would be great to have a Mobile native way to
do this, but the old school BBS UI is just not conducive to telnet
over a mobile app. I could see a world where a modern BBS has API
endpoints for messaging (this has been done, I think), but then we are
not longer in the world of BBSs
