So I added a couple MUDs up in Mystic that do outbound telnet to their servers while one (coffeemud.net:2323) works but can be finicky the
other one (starmourn.com:23) won't take any input at all. I know these servers are meant to be run on MUD clients, but figured running outbound connection from the BBS should work as well.

If it doesn't work with telnet clients then it wouldn't work with
Mystic's outbound telnet. I just tried it with SyncTerm and NetRunner
and neither of them allow input (I only tried the second one).
With MUDs and their ilk, you have to have local echo on. Also, the reason they're usually run with special clients is because typing in them straight like that is messy, especially if you have to backspace, so the clients usually don't send what you type until you hit Enter.
I connected it straight through Netrunner and turned echomode on and it worked, it's definitely not suited for these telnet clients. But unless there's a way to do the same with outbound telnet via Mystic, I don't think it's feasible.
