How do *you* identify terminals?

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.
