telnet is an insecure protocol. Ideally you should use ssh instead but most which some modern BBS’s support both. Of course if you want to dial in on legacy “authentic” hardware then SSH isn’t possible.
💡You can SSH (or telnet) from your phone using Termux and it works pretty well (though admittedly not as good without full ANSI support). It doesn’t use full height of screen but is still usable. BBS’s could be enhanced to support that though.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Here’s an example of how one looks on my phone:
ssh NEW@bbs.bottomlessabyss.net -p 2222 -c aes256-cbcI really like Termius for SSH on Android (dunno if it’s on iOS). I use it for all my servers.
This looks fucking awesome.
In my part of the BBS-world telnet is the only option. I’m a C64 guy, and a TCP stack is memory hungry enough for 64k of RAM.
But yes, encrypt when available.
