i think the term should come up as vt100 not xterm.
why does this happen?
1st: Do not toppost
2nd: There is a file, /etc/termcap, which contains almost each valid
     terminal type, vt100 as well as cons25 as well as xterm.
Maybe the read of termcap(3X) and terminfo(5) may help to get more 
clearence.

vt100 or cons25?
is there anyway to tell?
Try the following shell command:

echo $TERM

The TERM variable is always[1] set to your current terminal type.

[1] Well, almost always... but for your particular question, let's
assume that this is indeed 'always'.
