@value{tramp} uses the user option @code{tramp-terminal-type} to set
the remote environment variable @env{TERM} for the shells it runs.
Per default, it is @samp{"dumb"}, but this could be changed. A dumb
terminal is best suited to run the background sessions of
@value{tramp}. However, running interactive remote shells might
require a different setting. This could be achieved by tweaking the
@env{TERM} environment variable in @code{process-environment}.
