So I did it. Found out that 3.10 installer will upgrade directly from 2.30, and 
from then on it was incremental, mostly manual upgrades to 3.19b.
Up until 3.16 everything was good, after that I did not test every single versio
n as I moved up. Finally, when starting 3.19b it the console it was complaining 
that it cannot open the configuration file from \sbbs\ctrl. I fired up scfg and 
found out that in the node path field there was some jibberish (random strings f
rom who knows where). After cleaning these manually  and saving from scfg the fi
le was loaded fine. Telnet login works fine and everything seems to be in place.
 Only thing that is not working is HTTP access, I updated the web root to point 
to webv4, but when I try to access HTTP:\\localhost I get a 404 page.
And to confirm, it was enough to run 'jsexec update' only once, after the 3.19b 
update or it should have been executed with every update?
Thanks!
