Hey All!

It seems to be working.  I might even be so bold to suggest it is the best
Fidonet has ever seen.  Also it should work fine in termux which means even a
lowly smart device should be able to replicate the below.  I did test utf-8 on
the tablet before the battery died.

Life is good,
Maurice
