My connection to the Free Software Foundation has always been out of some
space that they shared with Lisp Machines Inc at their Mass Ave address.
However, I believe that LMI is now going out of business and their space is
being taken over by ICAD, so this would explain the disconnected phone.  It
may also mean that FSF's Mass Ave address is also defunct, although I'm not
certain if this address is the same as LMI's.

The December 1986 version 18 manual (fifth edition) does cover 18.41 in the
form of a chapter entitled "Emacs Version 17 Antinews", which describes the
diferences "for those of you downgrading from version 18 to version 17".
I've always gotten the manuals directly from FSF at their LMI location, but
you can also generate the manual from the Tex source provided in the GNU
distribution.  The file etc/NEWS is also included with the distribution;
this contains some more detailed description of the 18/17 differences.  You
can just print this out or view it with C-h n while in Emacs.

Perhaps FSF, if they're listening, could inform us on the net of their new
phone number or address if indeed these have changed.
