Well, to begin with, I'd recommend Winfossil for NT as the fossil driver.
It works very well under NT environments for both Mystic BBS and Intermail.
Since Intermail is a DOS based mailer, the most trouble-free setup would be
for you to use the DOS version of Mystic, because DOS mailers won't talk to
Win32 BBS packages.

If you want to offer telnet access to such a setup, you need a special
telnet shim/virtual mode driver, like Com/IP or NetModem. Both of those are
shareware, and Com/IP cripples after a specified time period. There is also
a freeware app called GameSRV that some people claim works very well for
them.

You can get that from: http://www.randm.ca

As far as configuring Intermail and setting up batch files, can't help you
much there. I've played a bit with Intermail, but I've never set it up as a
BBS front end. Try the IM_USER echo for help on that.
