How can I find out what KIND of DIALUP I'm logged in to?

All of the dialups have a script "/etc/athena/dialuptype" that you can
run to tell you what kind of dialup you're on. So if you want to run
certain parts of your .startup.tty only if you're on an X dialup, you
could do:

    if (-x /etc/athena/dialuptype) then
        if (`/etc/athena/dialuptype` == "X") then
            ...
        endif
    endif
