You don't say what flavor of Unix you're using.  SunLink X.25 uses a
configuration file, /etc/sunlink/x25/x29-auth, which allows a program other
than /bin/login to be specified.  The choice of initial program may be
based on the source and/or destination X.121 address or subaddress, using
wildcards.
