About Sockets 
Windows (NT) or BSD (UNIX) Sockets must be installed on the client computer. 
♦  The Sockets installation must support TCP/IP. 
♦  The client computer must be able to access an appropriate server. Test this as 
follows: 
! 
telnet target-ip 25    (to test a SMTP e-mail target) 
! 
telnet target-ip 110  (to test a POP3 e-mail source) 
where 
target-ip is the server IP address. If the test is successful, you receive a 
welcome message from the server. Shut down the session by typing QUIT and 
pressing Enter. 
Note  You might not be able to see what you are typing on the screen. 
Access to International VANs 
Access to international VANs is available when using the FTP adapter. The FTP 
adapter can be used rather than the VAN adapter when communicating with a 
Commerce Manager post office. For detailed configuration information, see the 
Partner Manager Reference Guide.
