I think Craig's response was fantastic for these buzz word days. While B2B
has infiltrated the E-Commerce linguistics, it has traditionally meant
businesses doing business with other businesses; as opposed to individuals.
The B2B phrase became very popular when the Telephone companies put out
heavy marketing to sell businesses on getting listed in their special
publications (wow, I haven't heard the phrase telephone company in a long
time!).

Ray,
B2B is more an Electronic Commerce term than EDI, but it does pretty much
mean computer to computer. There is an extended discussion of B2B vs A2A vs
other x2xs on the business process listserv for ebXML
