Never seen Helix…. But I have used both of the later services.

PharmNet is the ASHP electronic bulletin board service (BBS). All ASHP members
can log on and use the numerous services.  News updates, message bases and
files of interest top the list of services.  You can gain access a TELNET line
(not internet telnet) in your local dialing area.

The FIX (Formulary Information Exchange) run a BBS in conjunction with their
subscription based information service.  It is well worth the money (about
$350 a year).  All subscribers get access to the BBS via a 1-800 number.  This
service is one of the best time saves out there.  They send out monthly
new drug monographs, DUE criteria and general reviews.  I almost never agree
with everything as presented but it provides a great start on these lab
intensive projects.  They include all of this in disk as well.  The BBS is the
icing.  Practitioners can swap ideas, much as we do here, but the number of
msg bases is stagering.  …..  

Need any more specifics.. email me.
