    I call my BBSes from my cellphone all the time, I use an app called Rterm.

    That's what I wasn't sure about: "call". It implies, to me at least, that it means using a modem and dialing. I would use "connect" in my case.

    I have Limbo installed on my phone, and in Limbo, I have a FreeDOS VM with MTCP installed on it. It's slow, but it renders the CP437 characters properly. I have ConnectBot as a backup, in case Limbo doesn't want to work properly. ConnectBot supports CP437, but the font is wrong.
