2% by number or 2% by volume ? I think that the higher volume partners would be more interested in switching to a cheaper solution. The cost of VANs is offset by the cost of setting up & maintaining an AS2 connection. We've already seen people here who cannot justify the cost of additional AS2 licenses ;-( Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
