Just an update for those of you that we're curious about this.

Yes, I did manage to get things working nicely between Mystic 1.12 A35 and
FrontDoor 2.33 mL

I used Netserial to create a virtual modem and have set up FD to communicate
via that. Mystic in turn monitors for a semaphore when mail arrives and acts
on the inbound directory that FD deposits packets in to.

I have used the FD equivalent of a file box to point Mystic at for outgoing
files to be sent via FD

JoHo and I have echomail and netmail running across fsxNet (Zone 21) spanning
the 3 x NETs currently in use.

Here's a snip of the FD logging from a recent incoming session.
