   Then, I wrote a shell script named "ttykind".  It took a tty name on the
   commandline (default: current terminal) and output the tty kind from the
   /etc/ttys file.  For example, let's say I'm remotely logged in on /dev/ttyp3,
   and /etc/ttys shows it as a "network" tty.  Running "ttykind" will give:
	   % ttykind
	   network

   So, setting up my .login was easy.  I put a test like this one in it:

	   switch ("`ttykind`")
	   case network:
		   # do stuff for network login
	   case xxx:
		   # do stuff for xxx login
	   default:

Why not just do `switch ($term)'? You don't need ttykind, except for
finding out *other* peoples terminal types.
