Please state your destination OS if asking for FAQ, howto and help.
eCS is eComStation aka OS/2, you didn't say you are moving away from OS/2. ;)

I don't know any. But if you can find the old huskybse-0.1b of Oct2000 you
will find example configs included, but those may be outdated.

I rechecked the actual stable versions on sf.net, my wish that the VERSION
file of the smapi should refer to huskybse was not done.

Your entry point for the linux version of husky installation can be found
within the file INSTALL of the huskybse module, filename
huskybase-1.4-tar.gz.

You find example huskymak.cfg there, required for compilation.
(Windows Versions may differ, i don't know, sorry.)

You will need at last the module hpt for tossing (check its VERSION file
for requirements of hpt, then the VERSION files of the following required
modules) and an editor for reading/writing like golded or, as part of the
husky tree, msged, and finally a mailer to connect to the fidonet network.

Husky is not simple, it is a powerful tool for FTN Users. I don't know the
software you are used to. If you never seen ASCII type text-configs before
you may get confused because of lots of keywords.

A simple guide is just to follow the INSTALL docs step by step, then read
the man or info for the modules and check every keyword for your needs. The
tparser tool of the fidoconf module will help you to check your config.
