    What are the values of the TERM variable? When I login at a Linux
    console and telnet to a SCO OSR505 box then I get TERM=linux (which
    OSR505 complains about since I haven't imported a terminfo entry)

    You can use TERM in an if statement in the .login or .profile (depending
    on login shell) to conditionally execute the appropriate commands.

    No, ttyp numbers are allocated on a first come first served basis. You
    may be able to find the client IP-address. Many Unixes (but not OSR505)
    show your client hostname/IP-address in the who command (e.g. who -u on
    Linux). Probably theres some way on OSR505 to take the PID from who -u
    and use another command to link that to an IP-address. A bit of shell
    scripting will do the trick I expect.

    If all else fails. Checking the TERM variable looks the best way to me.
