AIM Group/Netrail Alliance Expands Product Offering to
Include DSL Service

Digital Subscriber Line Service Will Provide Cost-Effective Business Solutions To Aim Customers

ATLANTA, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- AIM Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AIGU - news) an Application Service
Provider (ASP) headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, today announced that it has become a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
provider through its new business alliance with Netrail®. DSL is an uninterrupted Internet connection which provides users
direct access and eliminates the time delay of dial-up service. DSL will enable AIM to provide high-speed access to the
Internet at competitive prices. ''Our clients need reliable Internet connections that are dependable around the clock,'' stated
K. P. Reddy, Chief Technology Officer of AIM Group, Inc. ''By providing DSL service, AIM can create additional synergies
between the Internet and business solutions, thus leveraging the limited resources of companies competing in the middle
market. DSL will provide AIM's Business Solution Customers a direct Internet connection to their applications and data, all
hosted and stored at AIM's National Data Center in Atlanta.''

Netrail, a Tier-1 Internet backbone provider, views the alliance offering as an added value for its customer base. ''Netrail is
proud of the AIM initiative,'' commented Steve Massey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Netrail, Inc. ''We are
confident that an ASP with Tier-1 Service, coupled with DSL capabilities, will provide innovative solutions for corporations
in the middle market sector.'' Netrail currently has nearly 200 public and private peering relationships with Tier-1, Tier-2,
regional and foreign Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Many are private peering sessions with dedicated DS3 (45meg) and
100meg Fast Ethernet connections which avoid the congestion of the public Network Access Points (NAPs). Netrail's public
peering takes place at the following NAPs: MAE-East (Legacy and ATM), MAE-West (Legacy and ATM), MAE-Central,
Ameritech NAP, PAIX and PacBell NAP.

''Netrail's services are essential to the achievement of an ASP offering that is both timely and cost effective,'' observed Ted
Lamb, President of AIM Group, Inc. ''The AIM/NETRAIL Alliance is designed to serve companies in the middle-market
sector, with revenues between $50 million and $500 million. The addition of DSL service will allow AIM to deliver
traditional business solutions via the Internet and within the budgetary constraints middle market organizations.''

AIM Group, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operates within the Internet segment of the Information Technologies
(''IT'') industry. The Company has initially focused upon the acquisition of organizations which provide services allowing
mid-sized companies (those with annual sales of $50 to $500 million) to outsource much of their IT requirements via Internet
connectivity.

In July 1999, AIM Group, Inc. completed its acquisitions of Cereus, an Atlanta-based Internet Service Provider, and
Enterprise Solutions Group (''ESG''), a business applications consulting firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The Company has also entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Client Server Solutions, Inc. (''CSS''), an Atlanta-based
company which provides software sales and service in the ERP industry. These organizations will support AIM Group's
recently announced national launch of its Application Service Provider (''ASP'') program, which will be delivered to
middle-market companies via the Internet.
