A few of the story links (the ones to the gatech.edu domain) seem to be broken and were not archived in Wayback Machine. I call this out because the very newest story link (“I had a Partner, Right?”) is one of the broken ones and might cause people to bounce from the page. The vast majority of story links do work!
I assume the various authors' habit of abbreviating the name of the game to “War 2” stems from the game executable's name, `WAR2.EXE`. Eight-dot-three strikes again :)
Kali is the IPX-tunneling software they were using to enable WAN play. The “Battle.net Edition” of WAR2 wouldn't come out until 1999, after StarCraft and Brood War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(software)
