The usual way to set/adjust TERM appropriate for the remote system
is just to use the startup files there. This is what I add to ~/.profile
on a solaris system for example:
Well, that works when the other end is a system that has a shell and
runs login scripts. I also SSH to routers, switches, firewalls, etc.,
and I need a recognized TERM there as well. At least some of the
routers I use recognize xterm-256color, but they don't recognize
screen-256color (although I don't know if this proposal adresses
screen, it would be good to have a general solution).
