Hi Chad,

To be precise: The combination of the 8 char serialno _plus_ the origaddr need to be unique! So since the originating system is in control of generating it, uniqueness can be assured!

Bye, Wilfred.

That's how the spec *should* have been written, but alas, it was not:

"The serial number may be any eight
character hexadecimal number, as long as it is unique - no two
messages from a given system may have the same serial number
within a three years." FTS-9
