Good, that is very clear now, the ADICON device threw me, I had
considered it a subdevice of the Ocelot. I see that it is not in this
case.

Have you given any thoughts to the subdevices being described in XML?
It would probably cause some difficulty but it is what XML is made to
handle. 

BTW, I purchased a book on XML "Teach Yourself XML" by Sandra E.Eddy &
John E. Schnyder (IDG books). It was the only book on the shelves (that
I could find) on XML. I also found a student guide on XML from some
classes given in the building I'm in (at work).

AH! I actually understand all of that! Hey how about ATM over BiSync over
IP over frame over ATM (the first ATM being Automated Teller Machines at
1200 :-).
