I'm trying to find an android SSH app that would allow me to spectate games on ancardia servers.
The problem is that none so far offer the adjustment of terminal size.
They either give you the choice between presets, none of which of course have the proper size, or they don't let you change the window size at all.
Has anybody found any app that would work for that?

It can be done with Android Terminal but the setup is painful to say the least. You need to:

1) follow instructions here: http://kevinboone.net/kbox2_onebox.html
2) install dropbear ssh from http://kevinboone.net/dropbear_0.52_kbox.deb
the way I did it is to type


wget http://kevinboone.net/dropbear_0.52_kbox.deb
dpkg -F depends -i dropbear_0.52_kbox.deb

in terminal emulator.
3) and now you can just launch kbox_shell and do


stty rows 25
stty cols 80
ssh spectator@....


Done. Wait for you fingers to recover and enjoy ADOM games :).

edit: fixed dpkg arguments.

Thanks for that, I'll have to give it a shot.

EDIT: It works :D

There is one thing about the instructions you gave though, it should be:
dpkg -F depends -i dropbear...
Luckily I've found the commands explained on Kevin Boone's website and added the -i.
