Nethack server play on android?

I am looking for efficient ways to play nethack on one of the servers through my Android device. I know it is possible through telnet but I have no experience with that. However, I tried a couple of telnet programs on my device but wasn't able to play properly.

My preference goes to unnethack but I'll go with anything nethack that plays well. I reckon it's not possible to connect to a server using the Android client - I tried the gui one in the past, and unnethack for a few days.

Solution 1:

JuiceSSH is mostly a SSH client, but it also has a telnet option. It's the only telnet client I've found so far that supports color.

Telnet to nethack.alt.org if you want to play vanilla, and un.nethack.nu if you want to play UnNetHack. A list of other servers can be found on the wiki.

Solution 2:

There is no such thing as a "nethack client". Nethack servers work by letting you log in over Telnet and play Nethack on the server, with the game's input read from (and output displayed in) your telnet cient.

If you want to play server-side nethack on Android, your best bet is to find a good telnet client for android. Unfortunately, I don't know of any.
