Ian,
Please consider
Commport Communications to be included in your research. A Canadian
company doing electronic transactions for over 15 years.
We have
found this to be one of the easies and least expensive ways for our customers to
perform EDI. Our clients have two choices depending on their
output.
FTP Flat Files -
Commport then takes the flat file and runs it through our local
mapping/translation software to create EDI files. EDI files are
transmitted. EDI files are received and translated back into flat files
for the customer. This service is called Cyberlink. Commport
provides service and support for existing and future trading partner
setups.
Cost: $500.00 one time fee if Commport flat file layout is
used + per transaction cost based on volume. FTP software
is free
FTP EDI Files -
This is our traditional VAN service and the least expensive. Commport
sends and receives the EDI files and forwards to the appropriate trading
partner. Cost: FTP software is free and transaction costs can be as low as
5 cents depending on volume.
In either case,
Commport will do all the setup and interconnects with the trading
partners.
If I can assist
in anyway, please feel free to contact me at the address and numbers listed
below.

Subject: EDI using FTPHiI am looking at getting a list of VANs that have the ability for my client to be able to ftp to and pick up their 850s and drop off their 810s. The files must be in X.12 format.A list of these VANs would be greatly appreciated. I know Sterling has this ability but I don't know anyone else.Thanks in advance,Ian
