There are three main benefits to this, especially if you join the IRC Chatroom.

If you find yourself lagging, don't forget to enable SSH compression! Don't forget to set NetHack mode to ensure your keyboard works properly (very important for disabling traps)!  Note well that this effectively changes what the keypad types, '''meaning the numrow will produce a different password than the keypad''' (for logging in to play once connected to CAO).  One thing that guide doesn't mention is that you can "Disable Application keypad mode" under Terminal->Features. This allows you to use +-=/ to cycle targets. There's currently no working fix for allowing the numpad 5 to long rest. The only current method to perform a long rest online is by pressing numROW five.

A lot of people like to change their character sets to produce more 'solid' walls, and portals/shops that no longer look like wands/staves. All you need to do this is add the following line to your options "char_set = IBM" and change putty's character set to CP437 under Window->Translation->Received data assumed to be in which character set.

==CAO==
'''Crawl.Akrasiac.Org''' (CAO for short) is a publicly accessible server running the latest stable ''Crawl'' version ([[Stone Soup]]-branch). It can be accessed Via [[Secure Shell|SSH]] with the Username and password "joshua".
 
All games played on CAO are recorded, and all game logs are saved. [[Player ghost]]s are automatically pooled and hearsed to all accounts, so you frequently encounter the ghosts of other players.
 
The IRC bot Henzell reports milestones such as the killing of many uniques, entering new [[dungeon branch]]es, and so forth on the irc channel [[##crawl]].
 
 
==CDO==
CDO is a crawl server located in Germany/Europe, crawl.develz.org, telnet port 345 or ssh port 22, ssh-username:crawl, http://crawl.akrasiac.org/cao_key (openssh) or http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key.ppk (putty)
Basic SSH connection to CDO directions for putty: grab the second key mentioned above and putty. On the basic session page, make sure ssh is selected, and put "crawl.develz.org" for the host name (no quotes, of course). The port should default to "22" automatically.
 
On Connection->data: enter "crawl" into auto-login username
On Connection->ssh: check "enable compression"
On Connection->ssh->Auth: browse for the private key file "cao_key.ppk" that you downloaded to your pc.
Back on Session, type a name in the blank saved sessions field, and hit the save button.
 
==CSZO==
CSZO is a new crawl server located in West Chester, Pennsylvania in the eastern United States. It hosts both Webtiles ([https://crawl.s-z.org/ https://crawl.s-z.org/]) and console Crawl (ssh to crawl.s-z.org with username '''crawl''' and either the [http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key CAO key] ([http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key.ppk putty version]) or the password '''crawlingtotheusa''').
 
Ttyrecs and morgues are available for browsing at [http://dobrazupa.org/ http://dobrazupa.org/]. Note that the user database is separate from CDO and CAO, so you will have to register an account for CSZO.
 
==CLAN==
CLAN, [http://crawl.lantea.net:8080/ http://crawl.lantea.net:8080/], is a server hosted by Aleksi and maintained by TZer0. It is located in Germany and serves both webtiles ([http://crawl.lantea.net:8080/ http://crawl.lantea.net:8080/]) and console (crawl.lantea.net via SSH (port 22): username “terminal” – password “terminal” or SSH-key: [http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key.ppk PuTTY key] [http://crawl.develz.org/cao_key Unix key]) for trunk and stable versions. Accounts and save files for SSH & WebSocket are shared.
 
Ttyrecs and morgues are available for browsing at [http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/ http://crawl.lantea.net/crawl/].
 
==RHF==
RHF, [http://rl.heh.fi:8080/ http://rl.heh.fi:8080/], is a server maintained by joosa.
