Well, yes and no...  VicNet appears to have gone through a 
metamorphosis since I knew it.  I notice that it now appears to have 
become a web portal of sorts.  Of this VicNet, I admit, I know 
nothing.

The VicNet of my memory consisted of a network of Victorian 
government and quasi-government PABXs.  It had nothing to do (in 
my time) with the Internet, simply internal voice and data 
communications for the Victorian Government.
