Won't always work.  I just tried sending mail to my bix address and it 
didn't go through.  When I contacted BIX about it, they told me that
it was necessary to subscribe to the services of dasnet in order to
send/receive e-mail from/to the net.  In addition, for this service,
there is a $33.50 subscription fee, plus a $4.50/month service charge,
_PLUS_ you have to pay 32 cents for every message that you send OR that
you _receive_, and that is only for the first 1000 characters; there is
an extra fee for each additional 1000 chars.  Furthermore, they reserve
the right to edit your messages, should they deem it necessary (eg- due
to illegal contents, copyright violations, storage space restrictions),
etc.

Anyone know of a less expensive means of accessing the net indirectly?
