   Hey Kai!   
      
    KR> Maybe i didn't noticed the background of your question.   
      
   It was not a question on my part so you didn't really miss anything.  However   
   your answer has been most informative.  Thank you.   
      
   For my part I am attempting to make 1:153/7001 a potential wireless access   
   point for offline readers and am going to keep everything to a bare minimum.    
   So far it looks like only the MSGID is required to successfully transverse the   
   whole of fidonet.  Thus a point-like setup between 1:153/7001 and any user on   
   the wireless should have the user's app generate it's own MSGID that will   
   ensure uniqueness no matter if another user on the wireless generates the   
   EXACT same serialno since the origaddr will ensure uniqueness due to the point   
   part of the origaddr.  This isn't that far off from a numbered userbase on a   
   BBS where by default the sysop is listed as number 1.  Thus whether universal   
   or AREA based any half-assed dupechecker should have no issues with the output.   
      
   For the record I am using the "^AMSGID: origaddr serialno" format as specified   
   in fts-0009.001.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
