I see that you're using Mystic, and I'm using Synchronet, so I don't know what differences that may introduce... There's a utility included with SBBS called 'sexpots' which is what I was using. It "listens" to a serial port (or a USB port if you use a serial/usb adapter) and translates to TCP/IP for communication with the BBS. I believe that it will also work with Mystic, as it's an external executable program that you could grab. The parameters are set up in 'sexpots.ini' - I will paste the contents of mine below. There is also much more info on options/parameters here on the SBBS Wiki: https://wiki.synchro.net/util:sexpots Here is my .ini file, hope it helps and good luck!
