[HECnet] PDP Ignorance

Mark, running a vt100 80 x 24 screen on a blackberry (not a Torch) is problematic. 
OTOH 20 years ago I wouldn't have dreamt of being able to power down an XP1000 sitting on my couch and using a phone as a remote terminal!

A notes server would be fine. Answering maillists on a blackberry is problematic. The thing only allows new text between the header and the original text, i.e. forces top posting.

WTH Is it with mobile devices doing that :( I have to cut and paste my sig on nearly every mailing lust when I answer on iPhone :(

There is a terminal emulator available for it, vt100 compatible so VAXnotes* is fine.

Using a terminal emulator on a phone is torture, seriously. I have Telnet and SSH clients on iPhone and even though they offer extra keys it's not enough to be usable :(
