Although I don't have personal experience with it, I know the Extol product
is well-known for their communications package.
Here's an excerpt on the comm package from a former user/employee:
EXTOL has one most open communication interface I have ever worked
with. They never specifically charged for it. All VANs, Associations or
specific 800 pound gorilla's communication interface was already included
in the
price. It is VERY FTP friendly. With today's move to more internet based
web
processes. That is CRITICAL for success.

Please respond
to Erica Wiley
My company is implementing JDE OneWorld XE and I have been commissioned to
find us a replacement for our current EDI software from TIE Commerce
(formerly known as Saint Paul Software). The major problem I seem to be
having is not finding software but finding good comms. A lot just include
standard scripts for dialing into well known VANs but this is not enough.
My company has many trading partners that dial in to us like a VAN and we
use about 4 different VANS to get data from our trading partners.
Currently
we are using an in house written mailboxing system but would like to have
something that supports async connections and protocols such as xmodem,
zmodem, ymodem, etc..
Is there anyone out there that is using a comms package that they are happy
with that can do async, bisync, and mailboxing? Even if the comms come
with
your EDI software I would like to know about it.
Thanks for any input you have.
