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.

2% by number or 2% by volume ?

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 ;-(
