RE: BISYNC vs ASYNCH programming

[Tim McCarthy <timm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well it's not just as simple as saying "async" comms, you really need to
know the file transfer protocol involved e.g. ZMODEM, KERMIT, ANSI CLEAR
etc. and the scripting values needed to perform log on and so on. Our
ZMOD400 package is relatively inexpensive and can connect with anything
- it also operates with most of the EDI packages out there (Harbinger,
Gentran, Extol).
