According to some embodiments, a registry is displayed. The registry may,
for example, indicate resources available from a plurality of remote network access
devices via a communications network. Moreover, a personal network address may
be associated with each available resource, the personal network address including
an destination address portion and an application program identifier portion. A
direct communications link may then be established between a first network access
device hosting an available resource and a second network address device using
the personal network address associated with the resource.
