Hello Maurice!

 MK> Perfect!  That confirms that the address is indeed part of
 MK> the dupe checking routine.

As it should be, according to some aged sysops in-the-know of  
wisdom and programming experience.

 AA>> [1] == MID: 1:153/7001 8QIOgQad
 AA>> [2] == MID: 1:153/7001.2989 8QIOgQad

 MK> That is what I see here.  Also there is no doubt they are
 MK> completely different MSGs, from two different systems.
 MK> Right?  Also it appears from this angle that your idea for
 MK> the random serial number is indeed compliant with fts-
 MK> 0009.001 despite objections anyone might have about the
 MK> methodolgy.

That little word "may" in the salient paragraph of the spec  
opens up the possibilities.

 MK> ..I'll follow up this reply of a totally new MSG with the
 MK> "1:153/7001 8QIOgQad" address serial number.  Don't touch
 MK> that dial!

And.. if I don't see it, it probably means it was detected as a  
dupe along the way!
