DIALix Services is currently a Mail Affiliate Member of AARNet.

DIALix offers E-mail and newsfeed to individuals and small companies 
who are unable to obtain or afford a direct AARNet connection.

Currently DIALix is available at a local call fee in Perth and Sydney. 
Melbourne is on the drawing board with other major population centres to
follow. Austpac will be available soon. Trunk callers are encouraged to 
ask about the cost of a trunk connection for Email. UUCP feeds are especially 
catered for. Most newsgroups fed.
        
Traffic between DIALix hosts does not travel on the AARNet backbone so
it can provide a true commercial service at no expense to the taxpayer.

DIALix is aiming to provide a service parallel to AARNet around Australia 
for private and commercial use with independent links to the commercial 
Internet eventually.

X.400 and fax delivery services are under consideration now.
