If you use a dialup line, the type of device attached to
it may vary. Older UNIX systems pre-set a very dumb ter-
- minal type like `dumb' or `dialup' on dialup lines. Newer
- ones may pre-set `vt100', reflecting the prevalence of DEC
+ minal type like "dumb" or "dialup" on dialup lines. Newer
+ ones may pre-set "vt100", reflecting the prevalence of DEC
VT100-compatible terminals and personal-computer emula-
tors.
if the remote terminfo or termcap entry for your type is
not compatible with yours, but this situation is rare and
can almost always be avoided by explicitly exporting
- `vt100' (assuming you are in fact using a VT100-superset
+ "vt100" (assuming you are in fact using a VT100-superset
console, terminal, or terminal emulator.)
In any case, you are free to override the system <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> set-
described by <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>.
The first line of a <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG> description gives the

+ names by which terminfo knows a terminal, separated by "|"
(pipe-bar) characters with the last name field terminated
by a comma. The first name field is the type's <EM>primary</EM>
<EM>name</EM>, and is the one to use when setting <STRONG>TERM</STRONG>. The last
intended to specify a line height, that suffix should go
first. So, for a hypothetical FuBarCo model 2317 terminal
in 30-line mode with reverse video, best form would be

Terminal types that are written not as standalone entries,
but rather as components to be plugged into other entries
