I double-checked my Synchronet configuration yesterday, and my DeveloperNet
areas are statically set to 3000+ and my WEN areas were set to dynamic
numbering.

I just tried downloading a QWK packet from my BBS, and from my CONTROL.DAT, it
says my DeveloperNet areas are 3000+ and my WEN areas are 9000+.  So I'm not
sure where you're seeing that my WEN areas are 3000+.

I also haven't seen any indication of cross-posting between DeveloperNet and
WEN on my BBS, which would often be the first noticeable sign of this kind of
problem.
