Walter, One answer to your requirements is Softshare VAN. They charge by the transaction (ST), and there is no minimum.
Costs include a one-time setup fee, an annual subscription fee, per-transaction fees, and a one-time-per-trading-partner interconnect setup fee. All fees are reasonable. If you believe you will move a certain number of transactions a year, you can pre-pay your charges for a significant reduction in the per-transaction cost, and the annual fee is rolled into the pre-paid amount. Check them out at Softshare.com, or call me.

Ok, in my never ending quest to get our company off of a VAN (or at least to severely cut back on VAN transaction costs) and start moving some trading partner communications to AS2 I am looking to change our VAN. Our current van charges us $0.15/Kc but with a $425 monthly minimum. So even if I start to move off my high-water trading partners I'll still pay a minimum $425 each month. We only move about 4kc each month for our business, and this is slowly rising as we are starting to bring in ASN transactions which we never did before. I'm looking for a reliable van with a sliding scale charge based on kc used. I don't think we'll ever get off the van completely because some of our trading partners are small and cannot afford an AS2 solution. Any ideas are appreciated. Walter ...
