## Description

Mocha Telnet Lite enables easy access to Linux and UNIX Telnet servers directly from your Android device. It provides a robust VT220 terminal emulation, allowing you to run server applications just like sitting at a system console but optimized for smaller screens. The extension supports both Telnet and SSH2 protocols (without certificates), ensuring flexible connectivity options.

Additional features include camera barcode scanning and Socket Mobile barcode scanner integration (SPP mode), making data input efficient. Users can customize key mappings and terminal colors for a personalized experience. Note that this lite version limits sessions to 5 minutes per connection, suitable for quick access or testing.
