connect over the network (via your PPP connection) and the connect
attempt is picked up by inetd which starts the telnet session. There
is no direct relationship between the tty the PPP session is on and
the telnet.
You may be able to work it out by examining the IP address of the
remote end of the telnet and then work out which PPP connection has
that address and then determine the tty for that PPP connection.
What are you trying to do?
Cheers,
Roland.
