It sounds like you need to send a pty request - take a look at:

 http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html

and search for "request_pty" (assuming you're on the current v2
Net::SSH). You might also want to look at Capistrano, for an example
of how this is used - it has a "force pty" option, so you should be
able to see what that does.
