I have a requirement to count the number of users signed onto a particular
system. This is not really a problem in itself as the List Jobs API gives
me this. BUT, users who are signed on with multiple sessions to the same
terminal should only be counted once.

 If they were all attached using TCP/IP this would not be a problem as
different sessions share the same TCPIP address and the Retrieve Device
Description API gives me this. But, I have to account for dumb terminals
with multiple sessions. If the terminal has been set up for different
addresses, is there any way to tell that they are using the same terminal?
