    From metalhead@77:1/100 to All on Mon Mar 9 16:20:46 2020
    I recently switched to iPhone and discovered that the fTelnet client for it uses the iPhone keyboard. It's really cool to be able to BBS properly with
    your own native keyboard and not the old clunky fTelnet one.

    This thing has come a long way in development! fTelnet is the bomb now, at least it is on iPhone. I'm not sure if the latest Android version has this new feature or not, but if not, then this iPhone app might make Android BBS folk want to switch.

    It's an awesome program - try it out if you haven't.

    Oh neat! I've been using the fTelnet web app via my BBS's website on my iPad and love it. I'll install this on my phone/iPad as well.

    That's fun too! But the wait for the native keyboard (I think that's what
    it's called) is over.

    It has a weird display issue I'm trying to overcome - let me know if you run into it. It works perfect the first time it's used, but then on the 2nd try
    I'm only seeing 1/2 of the screen - I'll dig deeper into that issue and see what's up with it.

    I've been using connectbot and i've always used the android keyboard.

    but currently i use a gemini, which has a real keyboard so i'm spoiled.

    Thanks for that tip. I will give that one a try too.
