Fred,
Outsourcing this function to a VAN is one option. Another would be for you
to do it in-house on your own server using a product such as Foresight's
TradeSite. I think it would be worthwhile for you to investigate this
product before making a final decision.

|We are looking into a service with several vans which offer to
|convert our
|850 X.12, or any formatted data and put it onto a web page for
|our smaller
|business partners to pick up. This is for those who can't
|afford a van, or
|EDI per se. The partner could then enter an invoice on a Web
|form, which the
|van would pull and convert into an X.12 810, Edifact INVOIC, or even an
|application file. If the partner doesn't want to use a web
|form, and instead
|insists on sticking with a faxed form, some vans will handle that, too.
|Giving our business partner and us the data in any format we want.
|The question on our minds is how much do we outsource, and how
|much do we
|handle in-house. Obviously we could host a web page
|containing our orders,
|and allowing the vendor to enter invoices to a web form of our
|own design.

|This confuses me slightly, since I thought that a feature of 'EDI over

|could use one's normal ISP. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

|(despite my unfortunate reputation this is a genuine, rather than
