SEXPOTS uses the Telnet SEND_LOCATION sub-neg option to pass Caller-ID
information (received from the modem) to the BBS. And that works.

I could add an option to disable the SEND_LOCATION *request* during answer, but
 completely disabling it doesn't really see like a good option. Fixing the
client(s) - assuming that's where the problem with the option lies, would be
better.
