From the SSH-1 specs:

10 SSH_CMSG_REQUEST_PTY

string TERM environment variable value (e.g. vt100) 32-bit
int terminal height, rows (e.g., 24) 32-bit int terminal
width, columns (e.g., 80) 32-bit int terminal width, pixels (0
if no graphics) (e.g.,
480)
32-bit int terminal height, pixels (0 if no graphics) (e.g.,
640)
n bytes tty modes encoded in binary

Why vt100 and why 24x80? Both seem to be fairly standard, but is there
a specific reason as to why that is?

Also, what other TERM environment variable values other then vt100 would
an SSH server support? Presumably, it depends on something, however,
I'm not really sure what that something it would depend on is...


Those are just examples of values that can be encoded in this
particular SSH1 packet.
