Actually, apm and npx don't use the 'at' it would seem.  Instead,
their identify routines create a suitable device that then gets
probed:

revision 1.102
date: 1999/08/22 19:51:33;  author: peter;  state: Exp;  lines: +15 -1
Add an identify method to allow apm to attach itself to the nexus
without hooks in there.

and

revision 1.76
date: 1999/08/22 19:52:51;  author: peter;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -1
Add an identify method to allow npx to arrange itself to be attached to
the nexus without explicit code in the nexus to do so.

We should probably do the same thing with pmtimer, BTW, so it doesn't
need a hint for it to exist.
