Howdy all.. I got a fun issue. Running a47 on Linux, and am trying to configure DOVE-Net with QWK. I have set it up exactly like a working config of another board after failing on my own the first time.

It is able to FTP to the QWK server and pull down the ZIP file, etc. It even shows that it is importing all of the messages, however nothing shows at all in the message bases. I even see the msg files on the file system have messages in them.

I am at a loss as to what is going on. Here is a snippet of the qwkpoll log:

Make sure you have zip & unzip installed:

sudo apt install zip unzip


And then give it a try again.
