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..

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.

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

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.
Is Enigma still under development?
Yep. Just pushed some changes last night, actually. Trying to finish up the ActivityPub integration enough for 'prime time'. A native DOS
emulator is being worked on (so you can run DOS doors directly from
enig), etc.

Is there a current good write up if where things stand today?
