[WriteLog] Serial Numbers in Multi Operations

I know this has probably been discussed before but I just wanted to see if 
there is a simple answer.

In our Multi-Single SS Operation, we were running two networked stations.  If 
we started to enter a Q in the entry window on Station #1, a Serial Number 
was automatically assigned.  If the op on Station #2 starts to enter a Q at the 
same time, the same serial number is assigned. Once these numbers are 
assigned, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.  If the Qs are both completed, 
they both go in the log with the same QSO Number.  Does anyone know a simple 
way around this dielemma?

TR seems to handle this a little better.  In the scenario described above, 
the same Serial Number is initially assigned (just like WL).  However, once 
someone enters the first Q, the serial number of the second radio is incremented 
automatically.  It does take some coordination between the two ops to make sure 
who has which number, but TR does make sure that duplicate serial numbers do 
not go into the log.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this with WL?
