Subject: Other terminal types than VT100 for pine?

Hi,

we have Pine 3.91 installed on our Linux server, it works very well. We 
have only one problem:

If pine is started via modem using BitComm Pine reports an unknown 
terminal type "DEC VT100" and cannot be started. 
At least our versions of BitCom don't allow to change the string "DEC 
VT100" to "VT100".

Do anyone have an idea how to convince Pine that "DEC VT100" is the same 
as "VT100"?

If using sh:

if [ "$TERM" = "DEC VT100" ]
then
	TERM=VT100 export TERM
fi
in the /etc/profile
