Thanks Vitaly; strangely enough, I too am looking at this exact problem. I was
planning to
address this problem a little differently: I was planning to hold the context
that performed
the initial (primary) channel open until all of the "open activity" was
completed and this would include
opening of the sub-channels for multi-channel devices.
Regards,
K. Y
