I have written a guide to accomplish this in the Linux/64 bit version of
Mystic.  Currently have TW2002 V.3.09 running on my bbs natively without the
need for an external door server (though I also have a BBSLink game running
as well).  The setup on windows would be different though possible if you are
running a 32-Bit version of windows (which was my original approach by
setting up a telnet session from the linux bbs to the windows machine using a
telnet server and a batch file to copy the drop file).

Door servers are great resources if you want the game to run.  You could also
purchase the TWGS version of the game and run a door server yourself and only
allow your BBS to connect to it.

Version 3.09 is probably the best version to run on,  I use the DPMI version.
Check out my guide for setting up TW2002 at:

I also wrote a guide for setting up Mystic and DOSEMU on Ubuntu 20.04 64/Bit
which may give you some useful info (though it sounds like you are already
set with the DOSEMU setup:

You are welcome to connect and check out the running game by connecting to
the bbs at telnet://bbs.arcadiabbs.com
