I got all my doors (except Tradewars) running last night on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and decided to document what I did to make it happen, in hopes that
it can save somebody a week worth of frustration. I suspect the process would be the same on any version of Linux. Some information is specific to Mystic Config but should be relevant to any other software as well.
A cool addendum would be a nightly maintenance job (let me know if you want to see how I do it) as well as some details on getting pkunzip.exe
to work, which might be required for some interbbs games (I can help
here as well).
As far as tradewars, it won't happen sadly. The way I run it is that I
run TWGS in xorg and it works with wine.

Trade Wars is a little tough from my experience I never could get it to work on the Raspberry Pi. There is possibly an alternative for you
though. If you happen to have a Windows machine networked you may be
able to run Trade Wars Game Server (www.eisonline.com). This is a standalone server that can listen for either Telnet or RLogin traffic.
I loaded a TWGS server on my desktop computer. Set it up to listen on
port 2002 using the RLOGIN protocol. "Use RLogin name" is set to "Passed 1st".
In Mystic -cfg's Menu settings I added a Menu for for TWGS with the following Action:
(IR) /addr=localhost /port=2002 /user=@user@ /pass=@user@
