Yes, I poll vert for dovenet and Digital Distortion for Developer and Musical
net.

In the qwk network config it looks like this for dovenet..

Network Name: DOVE-Net
 Member Type: Node
    FTP Host: dove.synchro.net
       Login: trmb (my qwk account name)
    Password: ****** (my password)
 Use Passive: Yes
   Packet ID: VERT
Archive Type: ZIP
    Use QWKE: Yes

If you set QWKE to yes make sure your QWK account also has it enabled.

On Vert make sure your QWK account setting are setup in a way that works for
you. Mine look like this..

           Ctrl-A Color Codes: Expand to ansi
                 Archive Type: Zip
Extended (QWKE) Packet Format: Yes

In my case all the other options are set to no.

You also need to be sure your msgbases have the correct QWK Base ID and QWK
Network and it sounds like you have already done that.

Then you can use a interval event to run ./qwkpoll 1 (or All) as needed.

I think that's all there is to it.

 Ttyl :-),
