Carl I haven't heard of any bisync gateway with GXS other than the blue box they came out with about 3 years ago to attach to the bisync modem. Several of our AS/400 customers who did not want to do IP over the internet with SSL, have switched over to do FTP over a dialup async modem instead. Also the FTP scripts GXS now uses are the same scripts as what Advantis used before the acquisition.

I already know that. Back in Nov when I was in the process of moving some customers to an IP based comm solution, GXS told me the deadline to turn off async, bisync and SNA connections had been extended to July 1. So I just back burnered the project to move some other things up in the priority queue. Today I read the bulletin on GXS website (link below), and the bulletin makes no mention of bisync being cut off. One GXS rep I spoke with a while back told me they were looking at supporting a bisync gateway. Anyone know what the status of this is. https://www.gxsolc.com/public/EDI/us/support/TB/tb0403.html My customers generally say, "if it aint broke, I don't want to spend money to make it use a new technology". I can understand because there is generally NO payback for the investment. My clients don't really care if the connection is dial up bisync or secure socket over the internet. They just care that it works and is reliable, and bisync has been both. Regards, cjg Carl J.
