When using MS-Kermit 3.14 as a Telnet client over Novell LAN WorkPlace 5, 
how does one set the Telnet terminal type?  My batch file essentially 
contains the following commands:

   telapi -sn1 -st1
   tsu -o 128.171.44.54 k1
   tsu -a k1 1
   kermit set port bios1, connect

I figure that I need to insert the command "tsu -f <telnet-parameter> VT100",
but what's the correct keyword for <telnet-parameter>?  I've guessed at 
TERM, TERMTYPE, TERM-TYPE, TERMINAL, and TT with no luck.  

Our workaround is to set the terminal type after logging in to the UNIX 
host by issuing a "setenv TERM" command.  Since this is running in a lab 
setting, though, it will save a lot of grief to just fix the TSU/Kermit 
startup commands rather than having hundreds of users adopt the setenv 
workaround.  And it should be easy -- everything works fine if I run TSU 
in interactive mode to open and configure the Telnet session before running 
Kermit; I just need to know the equivalent batch-mode TSU commands.

Thanks for any help!
