It's slightly inconsistent. If sending the client's terminal type to the server is disallowed, it just hangs, and then times out. Reasonable behaviour, one might think, for a server that really needs to know that it can legitimately send colour changes and non-standard control sequences for the mouse over the wire. But it still sends some non-standard control sequences in the signoff screen. And if it doesn't recognize the terminal type, it emits a warning message and forges blithely ahead.
