Correctaroonie!  At least, good enough for email.

Yes, it's out of date.  Telenet raised their connect charges, so the WELL
switched to CPN, Compuserve's packet-switching network.  Yep, you can
dial your local Compuserve number and logon to the WELL by typing "WELL"
as the host name.  Of course, you then have to get an account there;
you can do so by following the instructions at the login prompt.

If someone wants to login directly, the 1200 baud hunt group is based
at 415-332-6106, and the 2400 baud hunt group is based at 415-332-7398
as of about two weeks ago.  There is a Telebit hunt group, but I don't
recall what its base number is.
