Look, I am moving to AS2 but there are problems with doing so. Sure, you reduce Van costs, but you also increase complexity of your system doing point to point. Think about it, instead of dealing with one communication node (the Van), you now have to deal with many.
Previous to this, I have been using AS1 (SMTP) for some time now. You have to take into consideration the extra mainentance time it might take to keep AS2 running and if your trading partner has the technical expertise to deal with problems on their side. So, yes, you save money on Van costs, but all parameters need to be taken into consideration before taking the leap to EDI-INT. Thomas Seay --- "Layevskiy, Eugene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > AS2.
