Thanks Jim.
The device Id I was referring to is the one that you can get from a pqa
which I then was going to pass as a cmd arg into the os code. The least
desirable of the three as I really didn't want to build a pqa around/in
front of the C code just to get the device ID, So I'll avoid that now,
having an alternative.

the other two: The radio ID is unique within (and dependent upon) the VII's
network infrastructure. The ROM serial number may or may not be unique and
may not exist on all devices, both in part or in whole.
