When I installed Mystic, I also installed enigma because ... well, why not? I'm really happy to see that we have a community for that here as well.

Once I get to a 'satisfied' stage of modifying and adding things to mystic, I want to start doing things on the enigma side.

One immediate question that I have, can you manually pass a connection from mystic to enigma in the 'Doors section? I remember someone doing this in the BBS days where they could access another BBS by selecting the option in the 'Doors' area, and the caller information was passed and such ... could Mystic do that?

Yes on the Mystic side you can create a menu entry with the IT command I believe to telnet out of Mystic into the Enigma side OR you can use IR to RLogin into the Enigma (I believe Enigma allows RLOGIN). On my logoff menu on my Mystic board, I have a section that allows users logging off to not only view a "Other BBS'" list but highlight them and dial out to them..

in fact, Mystic could be run from another BBS basically like a Door32 door:

A while back I created a 'door' mod to do this. It's currently mostly untested because the person requesting it lost interest I guess. I'm happy to bring it back up if you'd like to try it.

Basically, it allows you to pass (from another board) username info that will automatically create an account on enig so they can just bridge like you describe

I love this. If you can use the same rlogin logic that Synchronet and GameSrv use, it would probably be the easiest for users/sysops to adopt. I've written a standalone connector that can launch as a door from any BBS and connect this way.

It's pretty generic, so should be very doable from whatever system (note: You do need to be able to generate a sha). Happy to dig up the mod if anyone is interested.

This is easily my favourite feature of modern boards, it's so great to have such an easy option to go out and sample other boards, I've found most of my fav's this way
