Earl, EDI-INT via AS2 does NOT have to be so expensive. For example, our company distributes a Drummond certified AS2 connector, free for single partner use www.nsoftware.com/ipworks/edi/connector.
If you are looking to embed AS2 capabilities into your software application, we also have certified software components for .NET and Java. We only focus on communications (AS1, AS2, & AS3), and not translation or mapping etc., so we are able to offer low cost solutions that can be easily integrated with your current systems. -Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- In [email protected], Earl Wertheimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Richard > > That means that the 2% has more than doubled in just a few hours :- ) > > I agree that VANs provide a good service, and will stay competitive as long as > people insist on charging over $50,000 to 'certify' their AS2 software. > > Drummond is also certifying AS3.
