Bryan,
        We also use TrustedLink for the iSeries and changed from dial out to
Sterling and GSX to Inovis Scripted FTP from the iSeries.  Took a lot of
playing to goet to talk to our Firewall but after it was done it has worked
like a charm and it's cheaper too.

Subject: EDI SNA Dialing and VANS

We've been put on notice that our EDI VAN,  GSX (formerly ADVANTIS) which is
part of IBM Global Services, will no longer support SNA dialing as of
January 2006. Although they support EDI SSL FTP, we got a quote of $10,000
for a software package that does that.  We're currently using INOVIS'
TrustedLink software for the actual EDI. 

Are there other VANS that support SNA dial?  Our company isn't cheap by any
means, but the boss doesn't want to just spend the $10,000 without looking
at all the alternatives. Perhaps we should change VANS to one that supports
SNA dialing.  Perhaps we're not even getting a competitive rate with GSX to
begin with.   

Anyone ever change VANS to save money?  How was the experience?
