Not off hand but there is a new version that has just been uploaded to Hobbes 
you might want to check out (vsoup128.zip).
Here's my cmd file:
@echo off
SET ETC=G:\TCPIP\ETC
SET EMXOPT=-h40 -c -n
SET HOME=f:\tng\vsoup
SET TMP=f:\tng\vsoup\temp
SET Soup=vSoup.Exe
SET LoginID=lucier
SET PassWord=mypassword
REM  **** To change servers just type in the new server name for the SET 
NNTPSERVER REM  **** argument
rem SET NNTPSERVER=info.evansville.net
SET NNTPSERVER=onyx.indstate.edu
rem SET NNTPSERVER=AVSRVR-1.CR.USGS.GOV
rem SET NNTPSERVER=mcrcr6.med.nyu.edu
SET nntp=nntp://%LoginID%:%Password%@%nntpServer%
SET URLInfo=%nntp% 
REM *** Squish -> SOUP export
f:
cd \tng\sos
if Exist SOS.LOG Del SOS.LOG
sos out
REM *** Delete (if exist) old temp-files
if Exist %TMP%\soup*.tmp erase %TMP%\soup*.tmp
rem if Exist %ETC%\resolv erase %ETC%\resolv
cd \tng\vsoup
if exist f:\tng\vsoup\replies* %Soup% -s -i %URLInfo%
REM *** fetch news

goto end
:soup_send
vsoup -s
goto top
:end
