Lehle,
The terminal names are case-sensitive.
You want to do:
setenv TERM vt100
To my knowledge, virtual consoles are only available on NetBSD
i386. You may want to look into the "screen" program, which
is a great convenience. What I usually do is telnet into
the vax from a Linux or other i386 Unix anyway, so there
you have the virtual terminals.
