    TL> Hmm, you need to setup static conferences numbers on your QWK hub?   
      
   i'm not a QWK hub... it was a user uploading QWK mail before checking that the   
   conference numbers were still accurate for the areas they were posting in... i   
   don't even know what numbers they have without going into scfg and wading   
   through all the areas looking specifically for them...   
      
   static would be good, though... i'm concerned with how they would be listed on   
   the user's end when i insert new areas into the config in alphabetical   
   order... then there's the same problem but in reverse when areas are removed...   
      
   these two problems (above) are one of the main reasons why i much prefer FTN   
   echotags over QWK area numbers... the numbers can change but with echotags it   
   doesn't matter what order they are in, the tag is always used so   
   adding/removing areas doesn't lead to messages being posted into the wrong   
   areas...   
      
   we probably should move this over to one of the sbbs areas, though...
