Thinking about it some more (and it's been a long time since I dealt with
controllers & devices, so my ports & sessions might be mixed up) for a
multi-session device (like a 3487 InfoWindow) don't they all have to be on
the same ws-controller, same port, but different session number ? Although
that doesn't cover the chance that the user is signed on to 2 single session
devices that are on the same controller port, but it does help...

Also if you're using the 6050, 2661, 9146 or 9148 ws-controllers, they can
be set to use the same session number for all of the session that the device
supports.

Using 'rules' like these, you might just be able to get a fairly close
handle on usage.
