Hi! Kai,

Yes, that is what I intimated. Have you seen the 'telegrams'?

No. I don't understand telegrams in this context. Intimating fails due to translation. Sorry.

An example for just _one_ echo (of many): Asian-Link (IIRC). Look for
traffic by my friend in the Crimea (initiator of 'telegrams' use) and August Abolins. Telegram traffic is between Fidonet anything and (currently)
SMS-like texting on Android mobiles & tablets.

KR> And uhh, sorry for offtopic. KR>

Yes, there is that too. :)

Cheers,
Paul.

Hello Kai!

Further steps will probably require a further integration of
Fidonet into the collection of internets.

?? What steps? That is already done! All you need to do is to
upgrade your software and find an access point. You will have
full markup support, real bold italic and underline is no
problem, you could integrate pictures, audio and video into your
postings. Thousands of Boards are waiting for you.

I think he was referring to the Telegram Messenger -> <- Fidonet gateway.

Yes. Extrapolate the logic by excising the gateway and you get an Android Fidonet. Sounds like fun, I'm sure.

I like a technical evolution like anyone but it needs a limit or an horizon of sorts. At the momemt, telegraphing looks great but I worry at where it will end. (I was 'chanelling' an imaginary person of the 1870s? thinking similar
of the original telegraphy.) I like my GoldEd (& NNTP), oh and BBSs. :)

Cheers,
Paul.

It is another potential way to access at least some of Fidonet when you
are away from your main computer or however you access it.

As far as I've seen, it's not going anywhere more than how it currently operates. Much the same as a node or point does.

I prefer the points or BBSs as well, but unfortunately, for the time
being, Point software for Android is limited.

Now, if some better point software like GoldEd was available for Android
......
