I don’t think Jerboa supports ‘native notifications’ which means it relies on other services (such as Google Play Services) in order to push notifications to your phone. Some applications (such as Fairmail, F-Droid) don’t rely on Google’s services and use the OS’s native notification abilities.

I have to agree with you there. I’m not sure if that particular cover/pic hasn’t been embellished a little.

Mine was a 300/1200 baud modem which if memory serves correctly ran mostly @ 300.
