Hey Carol!

 CS> it would be interesting to see what some of your coding looks
 CS> like on their end!

All I did was to port binkd to Android by using a native clang that is part of
a bash enviroment for Android.  That way I could just port my fidonet bash
scripts to there with some slight modifications.  All in all it looks and
behaves like a normal ncurses based terminal program just like mom used to
make.  Also I used vim for Android as the editor but I imagine others could be
ported.  I did try to port micro emacs using clang without success but if
needed I could try again.  I forget the exact issue it was having.

Bottomline is that no special gateway is/was needed given that binkd for
Android works just fine.

 CS> I know little more about it as of yet.

I've seen a few tests here and there.  More or less looks to be working from
what I see here.  Personally I would just stick with normal operating
procedures.

Life is good,
Maurice
