Several differences:  AMIX was never on the net (that would have reduced
their transaction cost quite a bit), they were a separate service (they
intended to get on the net, but never got a chance).  Also, AMIX was trying
to build a particular kind of marketplace rather than just being an online
money service.  BTW This is not intended to argue for or against either
kind of service.
