[comp.sys.misc] WELL

Two questions for the readership about WELL:

1) How does one get an account on this service? What are their fees?

2) What extent of network access do folks on the WELL have, ie. can they
exchange e-mail with ARPANETers, snarf files using FTP, etc?

Call either the Sausalito line ( 415/332-6106 ) or the Berkeley line
( 415/848-0841 ) with your plastic handy & type   newuser   at the
login: prompt ( 1200,8,N ).  Charges are $8/mo + $3/hr of login time
+ disk storage fees if you use a lot of space on /uh.

lll-lcc.llnl.gov talks to the WELL regularly.  I *assume* ftp works as
usual -- never tried it.
