How do *you* identify terminals?

[Henry Spencer]

About all you can do is to flame at the people who sold you your
network/frontend/concentrator about not giving your machine a way
to find out who's connected to what.  The software inside the magic
boxes definitely knows what connections exist; if you could convince
it to tell you, you could get as far as knowing which terminal cable
a given login was from.  Given some bookkeeping on which terminals
are where, this would solve the problem.  But of course, the stupid
boxes won't talk.  This is plain old brain-damaged software, and it
should be treated as such.
