Yes.. I used QWK method for quite a while (at first) too. It was a wonderful
solution. Later, I added a Robocaller (I forget the official name) that would
walk through the BBS's menus automatically with the hotkeys. If a sysop didn't
change a particular menu order or the key, it worked great!
Back to your current situation, why not carry a point/qwk setup on a thumbdrive
or memory card and plug that in to the different PCs you use?
Not sure how that would work on a smartphone device, but it probably doesn't
matter since you would only use that for a quick check, and not to write back.
