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.

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, andun.nethack.nu
if you want to play UnNetHack. A list of other servers can be found on the wiki.
