I'd like to hear more about this also! I've been trying to setup a packet 
station recently, with the end goal of using Mystic as the BBS. 

You certainly can strip Mystic down to bare essentials -- for instance, just 
setting the default emulation for all users to ASCII will strip all the color 
out. Then you can chop out a lot of menu items, and shorten up the text strings 
and you're left with a very minimal package.

I hope to get LinBPQ up and running on an RPi 3 to establish the packet node, 
and configure it to route traffic to Mystic via telnet. I'm going to try to 
make some inroads with this over the weekend. Gonna be hard to test because I 
don't know anyone in my area that does packet anymore.
