Dear Anthony: Global Supplier Communications is not listed among the VANs in the Uniform Code Council's list of EDI Network Providers in their EDI Service Provider Directory at http://www.uc-council.org/e_commerce/ec_general_information.html. Are you sure it's a VAN? And anyway, isn't this like an ordinary telephone subscriber asking "Has anyone heard of GTE? Grandma's a customer of theirs, but I'm on Ameritech. Does anyone know how to get hold of GTE so I can call Grandma?" Given the routing information in the ISA or UNB, any VAN should be able to properly set up the interconnect to another - I thought that was part of the "Value" in Value Added Network. There's another possibility that Global Supplier Communications is a captive supplier network like the Automotive Network eXchange. William J. Kammerer FORESIGHT Corp. 4950 Blazer Memorial Pkwy.
