Sorry for all the questions.  But I guess quite a few things have changed since 2001 when I first set my board up. 
Going thru the How-To pages and the How to Join Dove-Net, 
http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:dove-net
the Configure your QWKnet Hub looks very different from the one I originally set up.  
        º ³ Hub System ID                   VERT
#1 -> º ³Pack Command Line            %@zip -jD %f %s
#1 -> º ³Unpack Command Line         %@unzip -Coj %f %s -d %g
#2 -> º ³Call-out Command Line         *qnet-ftp %s dove.synchro.net
YOURPASS    
                      
#1 I am using pkzip/ pkunzip ,  is the  zip / unzip using the built in OS zip/unzip function ?
#2  I am calling a .bat file : 
      vert.bat 
           ftp -s:c:\sbbs\exec\vert.ftp | find /v "Upload complete"
           if not errorlevel 1 del c:\sbbs\data\vert.rep
      vert.ftp file  : 
           open dove.synchro.net
           QWK ID 
           QWK Password 
           hash
           put c:\sbbs\data\vert.rep vert.rep
          get vert.qwk c:\sbbs\data\vert.qwk
          quit
 
#2a - If I change to :   *qnet-ftp %s dove.synchro.net YOURPASS  , only the QWK password is needed and not the QWK ID ?
I believe that I am not getting all the possible Dove-Net boards, so I could call in with my QWK ID and add the sub boards that I am missing ?
