Soloution #1: Hack /bin/login to system 'more'; then after you are logged in, set your terminal type so login's more will page at the right length. Wait, that won't work, since the information is not available until after you are logged in. 8-). Soloution #2: Use a smaller motd. Use the UNIX 'news' package (*not* netnews) in the /etc/csh/cshrc, et al.
