Subject: Net::Telnet and TERM

Anyone know how to set the TERM environmental variable on the remote box
from Net::Telnet?

I'm trying to use Net::Telnet to connect to a linux machine (from a windows
machine).

Code is:
tn = Net::Telnet.new({'Host'=>"davros"})  {|s| puts s}
tn.login("nml", "passwd") {|s| puts s}

Login proceeds happily until the (Suse Linux) server discovers TERM is unset
or incorrectly set.

Have a lot of fun...
tset: unknown terminal type network
Terminal type?

Then the login method throws a timeout exception.

Neil
