Default Coverting from phpBB to VBulletin

Hi there,

I would like to convert my current forums (phpBB) to Vbulletin. Before paying and everything I would to know if there is an easy process to get the user database and posts across from phpBB to VB.

Is this possible?

Many thanks

Ditto, I transferred a phpBB board that was hacked to death over to vB -- no problems at all!
