Fantastic! I received several very helpful responses to my question about getting the client IP address from the shell during a telnet or ssh session. The list of respondents is long so to keep things short I'll just say thanks to everyone who replied.
The simplest solution that I received from several people was to use the who -m command and pipe it through awk and sed.
#!/bin/sh
client_addr=`who -m | awk '{ printf $NF }' | sed 's/[()]//g'`
Thanks again!
