Well then you need a GRAPES 56kb RF modem. It's $250, and with the
necessary transverter and digital interface, it's still under $600.
Most of the voice radios being used for 1200 baud packet cost nearly
that much. 46 times the throughput for about the same money is an
unbeatable deal.

Ok, some of these acronyms are familiar:
MUD = Multi User Dungeon.
BBS = Bulletin Board System.
And some are not:
DOOR = ?
Or is that not an acronym?
Is a game not derived from the classic "Dungeons and Dragons",
and which supports multiple users called a "MUG" ?

Can someone give me the name or IP address of a site that carries
updated encap routes ? I would like to get a new DIFF file for
my gateway.

Yes, even more cryptic than awk and any unix shell script I've seen. Commands
were terminated with the <esc> char. But of course <esc> could be escaped, to
embed it in other commands, etc... Maybe I'll dig out the old PDP-11 TECO Users
Guide. Somebody stop me - quick!
