I'll make a perhaps unwarranted assumption here and assume that, with a name
like mthvax.cs.miami.edu, your host is a VAX.  If your VAX is running VMS then
the command $SET TERM/PASTHRU will also set the server's session to pasthru. 
If you are running Ultrix, it will perform the same way but I don't know the
actual command.
 
Come to think of it, all of the DEC operating systems I have used that include
LAT support (including PDP-11 based ones) will set the session to pasthru by
using the host's command to set a terminal to pasthru.
 
If you aren't connecting to a DEC provided O.S. then I guess I haven't helped
much.
