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 version 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 from who knows where). After cleaning these manually  and saving from scfg the file 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!
