With the Shiva TeleBridges it's possible to hold down <shift> while
selecting a TeleBridge in the chooser and select multiple ones as a result.
The Shiva serial port redirector is smart enough then to use the first
available one.

I assume that Shiva's NetModem stuff would work the same way.  Try it!
