Yes, doing a double telnet from Mystic back to Mystic and then doing a transfer
works.  That is the only example of the double telnet that works to my
knowledge for transfers.

It apparently has something to do with the telnet negotiation process.  Maybe
other BBS platforms are sending the negotiation to just one of the telnet
processes.  Not sure, but it appears to have something to do with auto
negotiation.  Just trying to figure out if there is a way around this somehow.
