As it turns out, the setup program nowadays always sets the default zone to 2.
This gives me the creeps as the correct code exists, but is commented out:

  Registry.WriteInteger('Tosser','Zone',2); //Uplink.SysopAddress.Zone

I wonder why this is so. I will revert this for the next release as I cannot
tell why it is so. 

Still, there is IMHO only one default zone setting, which is in the "Tosser
Settings" part of the settings dialog. Where else do you think you spotted it?

Anyway, the default zone setting should not be that important as it is only
used in some corner cases and for numbering the outbounds, which is totally
internal and doesnt matter.   

Regards,
Tim
