SIO/VMODEM seems to include the ip as part of the modem CONNECT string.

i duno what's handling the telnet protocol itself, but you could also maybe pass the ip address that way if the bbs is doing it. that's already how they pass stuff like window size changes in *nix (SIGWINCH) so you could make up your own and it wouldn't be the most hacky thing around ;)
