When setting up message bases in Mystic, there is a referenc eto "base type" of newsgroup.
Does Mystic have support for newsgroups / connecting into usenet groups
to receive / send messages? (ie in the same way that Syncro with
newslink or cnet (built in).

Sure does! You need to do 2 things:

1: Find a hub that will feed you the newsgroups. There's an add in the Fidonet group "Othernet" from Nick Andre at 1:229/426. Netmail him for more details.
2: Setup your requested newsgroups in the appropriate message area using the newsgroup base type.
As others have suggested what you can do is find a service that will gate newsgroups <> FTN packets that Mystic (or any other BBS software) can import/export from their message bases.
In the case of fsxNet there's a NNTP server news.bbs.nz that is polled
I presently connect to Clearing Houz for FXSNet - if I wasnt able to run my own NNTP server and gateway to FTN, can I connect to yours (not sure if that causes a complication with currently getting FSX from clearing houz).

What does this actually do? I realized that they are just set up as normal echomail bases here. they seem to work, I've posted without
issue. I don't see anything in the docs about it yet ;)
I was thinking of adding usenet to clrghouz, ie: you'd collect/send messages via FTN, and clrghouz would post/retrieve it via NNTP. But I thought that usenet was full of spam and dying? If there is interest, I might have a crack at it...
Very much so (full of spam and dying), but it seems the interest (for some) to carry it is still there, I suppose. :)

But it is hit and miss subject to which newsgroup(s) you go looking into... there's still some good signal/noise ratios to be found.

You're more than welcome to pull a feed from the 21:1/10 HUB we have running in fsxNet that offers the gated FTN packets your BBS could read etc.
If you opt to pick this up please email me or netmail me when you have
set up your end (check fsx-use.txt) and I'll enable your node at the HUB.
Avon, i have sent email and netmail to you about applying for usenet.
just wondering on the timeframe to get setup for that.

I've done the same as well - not sure if you have received? I havent
sent one to your email, but did email you a few weeks ago asking for a password reset at the agency as well :)
