YES! That's a GREAT point. It's a retro tech scene, even with modern BBS
software -- warts and all!

I use an SSH-based mobile app (Terminus) in a pinch. To me, it's just
another terminal, albeit at a very non-standard size :) Always thought
there *could* be a way to generate a better experience at a phone-size
using mobile telent/SSH, but the reality is -- BBSs were made for desktop
computers. That's probably where they will stay, short of a wholly new
approach that would require BBS authors to create/adopt new screen
sizes AND new/better mobile apps to support them. Don't think that'll
happen.
