If you are logging in to another server you can use the following:
alias <hostname> 'cmdtool -Wl &quot;<hostname>&quot; rlogin -l <username> <servername> &'
This will give the servername on top of the window instead of terminal. (and when the window is minimised on the desktop it also shows the servername )

/usr/openwin/xterm -title &quot;My window&quot; -fg ....... &
for a x term??

or

BANNER=&quot;My system &quot; in /etc/default/telnetd
for telnet
