When we were looking for an EDI package, the pc based
Gentran was about 3k and the as/400 version was over
10k. We went with the pc based software. Then its just
a matter of pulling/pushing data from/to the pc.
Gentran can be scripted to run on it's own so this
works nicely. This allowed us to do upgrades and model
changes without an additional penny going to Sterling
for hardware changes.

Something to consider.
