Is this any better than connectbot?  I saw it suggested for ansi
bbses, but I can't figure out what settings to use to actually view
ansi.  I've tried linux and vt-100 with no success.

I can't remember enough to give you a detailed review, but the answer
is no, I did not enjoy it as a BBS client. If it was an improvement on
connectbot, it wasn't a significant one (I've tried both). It'll do in
a pinch, but I wouldn't use it regularly.

Not to knock JuiceSSH, which seems quite decent and I do use it
occasionally for other things.

In general, textmode BBSing on mobile just sucks, due to a combination
of screen attributes and input methods. On a tablet? Maybe, and just
maybe.

Unless you have an old moto droid 4 with a physical keyboard. I love
that thing.

I use MuffinTerm on my iPad with attached keyboard and it's really
nice for BBSing. I couldn't imagine doing it on a phone or on the
tablet without physical keys, yuck
