Ok I may have found an answer right here (thanks Google!).
Seems like the import code was buggy way back in 06 too, but this guy got it to go with some changes.
http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=34867&#msg_34867
Now can someone walk me thru how I would use Command Line mode on my webhosting site?? Is this where you need an SSH client?? What directory would I run it from??
EDIT: Found quite a nice Windows based SSH terminal called PenguiNet here: www.siliconcircus.com
Found the file admimport.php in the adm folder
So I took out the comment on: define('recovery_mode', 1);
And changed the path in multiple locations in the file from this:
$_POST['path'];
To:
$_POST['/tmp']; - Which is where my fud.gz backup file is located
Now it says run the script as follows:
$ php -q admimport.php
BUT when I try, it comes back and says command not found for php. Where did I go wrong??
EDITEDIT:
Found out the forum hosting does not permit php scripts to be run from SSH shell  So they suggest either use path in browser or replicate entire environment to linux PC, run the commands locally and then upload the imported forum. At least I have a road map to try to get this going.
Also they said I could edit the maxtimeout parameter of the HTAaccess file which may help.
Does the running it in browser method sound like it will work??
