(you will need to replace <CSI> with byte 155 and <ESC> with byte 27)

$ sh term
Terminal: _TNA3:      Device_Type: VT400_Series  Owner: ARNE

    Output:   9600     CRfill:  0      Page:   26

I don't think I have anything special in mt Putty config.

Note that I do:

$ set terminal/dev=vt400

not:

$ set terminal/inq

at login.
