   : If  I  make my  user's  shell  an  application (specifically  a  BBS
   : program)  how can  I set  the TERM  type when  they login.   When my
   : dialup lines connect the tty is  unknown and the PINE mailer refuses
   : to run as does lynx.  Can someone help me out here?
 
   [shell script deleted]
   
Doesn't the tset command do this?

Be happy...
