Some of my companies subscribed to other VANs when Sterling began losing
data when transferring documents through interconnects to other VANs.
Sterling would never say why the packets were lost when this occurred. Some
have dropped Sterling altogether while others have elected to use two
connections, one Sterling-compatible and one for trading partners on any
other VAN.
