I use card names quite happily and never bothered with the underlying devices. The only problems occur with things like skype where you cannot use aoss. So card names already give you a way of individually addressing each card and enough to plan with. I have to admit that I don't know how identical cards are handled. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
