I do. I have FastEcho toss to the Mystic echomail\in and \out directories,
and of course have FE set to look in the Telegard \msgs directory for the
actual messages. There's a whole setup with a batch file or two for FE, and
of course the setup for FE itself, but the Mystic setup is super easy. I just
have it scan the \mystic\echomail in & out directories for mail, and have the
FE batch file create the semaphore Mystic needs to mail out when there's mail
to send.

A little Frankenstein-ian, but I found it a lot easier to setup, run, and
monitor than binkd command line, especially with its cfg file. Ugh.
