I guess I am having trouble understanding is the problem on the PuTTY end or the hosted system end. Would this happen if I was using some type of other system. I had assumed this was on the unix side. So using putty to log into my hosted system. I log in and type tset -q and get "xterm" and tset -s gives "TERM=3Dxterm". So I think that emacs should be OK with this setting to run SLIME? I run emacs and start slime and get the same message. "emacs: Terminal type dumb..." When I set the TERM=3Dansi or TERM=3Dvt100 and export TERM I get the same error. On the putty side, the setup in terminal details is xterm. I'm at a loss.
