Welcome to nethack.fi public NetHack server!
telnet nethack.fi to play.
NetHack is the best computer game in the world.
The game does not sport a fancy graphical interface (though you can add one if you please) nor does it require a hi-end computer. NetHack is also free. For more information about the game please refer to Wikipedia and the official NetHack site. Extensive information can be found at Wikihack and there is also a comprehensive easy reading guidebook for new players.

Although NetHack is a single player game, playing on a server brings another, social level to this already very immersive game. On-line players can find each others' remains in the dungeon and compete on the scoreboard. It is also possible to eavesdrop on other players' games and follow their progress, maybe giving a hint or two on the #nethack IRC-channel.
To try and beat the game on the server you need to connect with telnet or SSH. With telnet you do not need a password and with SSH both username and password are "nethack". For advanced SSH users there is also a RSA key available.
After connecting you get to the server main menu. New players need to register a new user while existing players can log in with their personal username and password, which are, by the way, case sensitive. Lost password can be emailed to it's owner, so a workin email address is required. After registering and logging in you can start playing. You can also watch other players' games without registering.

Server main menu after logging in
You can set up your player profile with your favourite NetHack settings. Pressing "o" in the main menu after logging in brings up your personal options in standard .nethackrc format. Your friendly neighborhood server admins have already pre-installed a decent default set so it is not necessary to change anything. But in case you want to do something different, it is easy to change the variables for your own liking. For a complete list of all options possible please consult the options help or see Wikihack.
In case you make a mistake you can always find default settings here. For those who are struggling with the vi editor a short help file is available.
In case something sounds vaguely familiar, this is not the first Finnish Nethack server. Rather, this is a descendant of a server which was located at Fishpool Creations back in 2002-2005. And, interestingly, this Nethack server is also supported by Fishpool and the admins are pretty much the same.
