We're using Director Pro 32 bit for one company and Server for another, although transitioning off to Inovis BizLink + Mapper. Director is workstation only with an Access backend, and doesn't like to be pushed very hard. Server is client/server with a SQL backend, and more robust with a few extra bells and whistles. Both can have the tools to create maps, or not, depending on what you license. Director does have support for hooking up to mailboxes but I don't know how flexible it is (we connect to Sterling and it does ok, but no surprise there).
Sonja, speak with Sterling's support to see if Director can do what is needed to connect to your iSoft mailbox. If not, you could try speaking with iSoft, and see if they can drop the files on your network via VPN, then you can just pick up the file.

(Could be very wrong on that.) Does Director have the mailbox service that the server product has, or soemthing like it? Travis- -----Original Message----- From: Sonja Alley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 1:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Gentran: Director and iSoft AS2 We are running iSoft as our AS2 Solution. Now, this alone isn't an issue. However, management decided to go with the cheapest , most basic (and did I mentions cheapest?) version of Gentran: Director for our new EDI software, to replace Trading Partner PC which no longer meets our systems needs. The problem that I am having is that Gentran: Director does not the capability to create a mailbox for the files that we are receiving from iSoft. Is anybody out there running Gentran: Director and iSoft? If so, can you give me any suggestions on how to make this work? Sonja [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] .
