Recommendations for Email / Internet Service Provider

 

One of the methods for sending EDI invoices to Data Tranz is Email with an attached file. We also forward EDI Reports and Invoices to your Email account, so it is important you choose a mail service which is not consumer driven, and will handle your attachments without reformatting them.


DSL, ADSL, Broadband, etc.

We highly recommend installing a broadband connection for business purposes. First of all, it makes sending and receiving EDI much less of a chore, you can also download updates quickly, and you can check your prices quickly. It is also a requirement for using Glaxis with Data Tranz.


LocalNet

Provides clean, fast connections, and no proprietary software which will interfere with your EDI transactions. Use Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora to send and receive Email.


MSN

We do not recommend MSN for sending EDI. MSN reformats EDI files into inline files, making the email worthless for our purposes. There are workarounds, but we do not support MSN. If you have MSN, we recommend using the ftp method of sending EDI. We do not recommend MSN for sending EDI.


Yahoo!

Yahoo is similar to MSN, but you can't send "single click" out of GlassShop. Instead, you need to attach the file to your message.


AOL

Similar to MSN, AOL formats the outgoing message to appear in the body of the message. With the resulting loss of message integrity, the message is worthless by the time we receive it. Not suitable for our purposes.


Incredimail

Same as MSN and AOL. Not suitable for our purposes.


Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora

All of these operate on the system desktop. They are all MAPI enabled, meaning we can send an email directly through them. All it takes is one click and we've received your EDI. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
