My question was:

I have been looking into changing the terminal type from network to
vt100 when a user logs in from a modem, and have found several different
ways to do it. But I want to know the best method for doing it, not just
all the different ways I CAN do.

Any suggestions?

And I followed the advice of:

Who said to put this in my /etc/profile (for korn shell):

case $TERM in
        network) export TERM=vt100;;
        *) ;;
esac


Which worked beautiful! Thanks to everyone else who responded too. (Too
many to name)
