Sorry Mark, guess it depends on how you view this, but named devices the way WE
do it DEFINITELY provide things that we need. We have users connecting via 
TCP/IP
and the way the PC is setup, the device session created IS named. For tech
support/help desk we KNOW for sure at what location this device is located
instantly based on our naming conventions. We also have applications that check
"various things" and the named device is necessary for this to work. Not to
mention that a printer needs to know what device to send a message/messages back
to... And the list goes on <BG>

Might be different for you, but there is NO WAY we could get by with "nameless"
devices :-)

JMHO !
