Let me see if I understand this correctly. 
The TGUID is an automated user created on the BBS hosting the robot?

So, in theory, If the concept of the robot was taken further, then each BBS could implement the gateway, and have their local BBS user ID <- linked -> Telegram number, so addresses could be figured out programmaticly at the BBS and gated accordingly. 

Or have I not understood how this works?

The way it is now, this is running on a test basis, so we have to use the bot (%userinfo) to register our information which essentially creates a new user account on 2:460/256?

With a roll out of the gateway software, I would install it so that my users would be able to get gated telegram messages at <local user number>@4:920/1 ?

Does that about describe it?
