Subj : Interfacing FD with Mystic

Hi all.

I am trying to connect FD to Mystic as part of an experiment to see if it's
it's possible.

It's been a long time since I used FD and because it's not a Bink style
system I'm confused about how to get echomail/netmail messages that arrive in
to FD (netmail dir right?) sent to Mystic and vise versa. Having what I think
is just the one directory in FD holding all echomail/netmail traffic inbound
and outbound is proving a challenge for me to figure out how to get Mystic to
deal with this.

Mystic will happily ingest packets and export them for transport and I have
options of BinkP (which is clearly not the one) FTP, and a directory transfer
... the latter is the option I hoped would work so I could point Mystic to
look at an internal directory to send and collect packets to/from
Frontdoor... but when the FD directory is one in the same for send and
receive .. specifying the same directory for Mystic to send/receive from
causes issues as packets sent out and pulled back in again right away :(

I just not sure how to work a solution. I thought of setting up Fastecho with
FD but if Fastecho is configured to run with FD I'm not really sure that's
going to help me get packets out of Fastecho and tossed to another node
internally.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Best, Paul
