*shrug* i dont think there's any telnet standard we could refer to here

i wasnt sure if it was a matter of you not seeing the var or if REMOTEHOST is 
supposed to be set to the reverse dns ...

hrm, no idea where i was looking ... when i wrote that e-mail, i was looking 
at some telnet code that setup envvars like REMOTE_ADDR, but clearly that 
wasnt telnet code in busybox

looks like env setup is left up to the reader (and the shell) to handle
