Earl's challenged me to look at the stats by volume. I only took two (weekly) data points, but the percentages are still in the single digits; between 4 and 5% of our transaction volume comes in via EDIINT.

I think that the higher volume partners would be more interested in switching to a cheaper solution. The cost of VANs is offset by the cost of setting up & maintaining an AS2 connection. We've already seen people here who cannot justify the cost of additional AS2 licenses ;-( Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
