And what I have tried to explain is that this information can not be
read through Firebird unless you pass it in.

You did not state that you were after some sort of connection limit.
All you stated was that you wanted to know the current IP address and
computer name. The only way Firebird will return that to you is if you
store it against the current_connection in a table somewhere.

You are going to have to maintain your own keep-alive mechanism for
crashes clients (which should hopefully be rare).
