The Terminal property specifies the terminal type of the
server for display purposes. On UNIX based systems, the terminal
name corresponds to a termcap or terminfo entry as set in the TERM
environment variable. On Windows based systems which implement the
rlogin service, this property may be ignored and the server will
assume that the client is capable of displaying ANSI escape
sequences. On VMS systems, the terminal name should correspond to the
terminal type used with the SET TERMINAL/DEVICE command.
If this property is set to an empty string and no terminal type is
specified when the Login method is called, a default terminal
type named "unknown" will be used. On most UNIX and VMS
systems this defines a terminal which is not capable of cursor
positioning using control or escape sequences. This terminal type may
not be recognized and an error may be displayed when the user logs in
indicating that the terminal type is invalid.
Refer to the documentation for the server system to determine what
terminal type names are available to you. Remember that on UNIX
systems, the terminal type is case-sensitive. Some of the more common
terminal types are:
