I would like to configure our system to display different messages at login depending upon
the tty device that the person has connected to.

Does someone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

PS:  This would be used for "sponsorship of phone lines", so that if someone connected to line
ttya5 it would always say "Thanks to Jims Car Wash for sponsoring this line" etc...
