It is generally exported by ssh or telnet, and the value inherited by the
shell that ssh or telnet starts on the remote end. If you want to do some
=2Ebash_profile trickery to re-set TERM, you can check whether the tty is S=
SH
by consulting SSH_CLIENT.

One of the GUI ssh clients (NiftyTelnetSSH for Mac, an otherwise excellent
program) has some defects in its terminal emulation, which causes symptom
similar to what you described.
