Re: [mh] Multiple Insteon PLMs

Pretty sure you can only have one PLM defined.

The USB versions just contain a FTDI USB to serial converter. The COM/TTY
device that shows up in your OS works identical to the serial version. Plus
the newer PLMs last a lot longer, the capacitor issues are mostly resolved.
