From what I can see, it does. It gives me several ideas as well.

I liked the idea of fTelnet, but I couldn't get it to work for me, and emails
to the author were unanswered. Other Telnet apps kind of fake the ANSI, which
defeats the pur'ose to me.

I'm guessing if I can get the screen size displaying correctlly, Suncterm
would port to a native Android app pretty well.

A tablet probably would be an easier to go with, but I'm working with what I
have.
