Re: AS2 with GXS (formerly GEIS)
It's funny that everyone assumes Walmart. I understand sense that is the "big
thing"
of the moment. I am already set to test with them next week direct.
The thing is I'm already a GXS Van customer. I just want to be able to exchange
documents with the GXS Van for my customers that are not AS2 capable. I bought
the
Isoft package and want to leverage my investment and get away from my 9600
bisync
modem.
And for what it is worth I have now been assured that GXS does provide AS2
connectivity. I have not received specifics yet so I am withholding final
judgment
until I see it with my own eyes.
Happy Halloween
