And then wrap this into a piece of shell init.
for tcsh in .tcshrc, but you get the drift:

if (@`tty`@ == @/dev/ttyd0@) ( setenv TERM vt220; stty rows 60 )
if (@`tty`@ == @/dev/ttyv6@) /usr/bin/systat -vm 1
if (@`tty`@ == @/dev/ttyv7@) /usr/bin/top

Just try it once an check the tty with /usr/bin/tty
