it's certain death.

Ahh, yes. I've been looking around myself. The only two apps I've been able to find are HotdogEd and Aftershock. Both of which I find to have issues.

I personally have an idea that it shouldn't be too difficult to adapt the code from some variation of a Linux program to work on an Android device, however I don't have the skill to do so as of yet.

In some cases, I would guess that the author has simply moved on to other things and just forgot about it.

The sysop at 2:460/5858 has developed a fine bot that integrates well with the existing Telegram API to gate echos between Fidonet and Telegram groups, making echomail very easy and usable on a smartphone.

I'll have to take a look at that. Very heavy TG user. I'm not a big fan of
the interfaces I've tried to get FTN on my phone, but Telegram would be nice.
