BBSlink has a large number of Mystic users so I have put together a detailed guide on how to specifically install BBSlink on a Mystic BBS.
Firstly, unzip the contents of the Windows 32-bit connection client into a new directory. In this example, my main Mystic directory is N:\mystic and I am going to place BBSlink into N:\mystic\doors\bbslink.
Edit the bbslink.bat file and substitute your BBS credentials as appropriate. It is also necessary for Mystic to add a line to change to the directory in which the connection client can be found, such as:
rem *********************************************************
rem *** Configure the following settings for your system: ***
rem *********************************************************
rem Server Address, usually games.bbslink.net
set host=games.bbslink.net
rem Your system code
set syscode=mybbs
rem Your system's authorisation code
set authcode=123456789012
rem Scheme code
set schemecode=abcdefghijkl
cd \mystic\doors\bbslink
rem *************************************
rem *** DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE ***
rem *************************************
...
Now enter Mystic Configuration and create a new entry on your doors menu. To run LORD, the command needs to be a (D3) Exec door (door32.sys) and the data line for this example
N:\mystic\doors\bbslink\bbslink.bat lord N:\mystic\temp%3\door32.sys
You should now find you can connect successfully to BBSlink from your Mystic BBS.
Please note that if you connect to your BBS locally (i.e. 127.0.0.1), you may not see the connection working - try connecting to your board using a telnet client like Netrunner or SyncTERM and see if it works that way.
