Hi Jon,
Thanks for the reply, it made me realize that I'd left out some context
that should be made clear to anyone reading my post.
The reason I was looking into this in 2010 was because FedEx had
announced they were going to retire the DirectConnect method and replace
it with the Web Services. I'm well aware of why thing's aren't working
now and am asking if anyone has completed a functioning Interchange
module that will handle rate lookups via FedEx Web Services.
Also, I've searched the user list and the most recent post I can find
about it is mine from 2010.
Building a static rate table would not be a viable long-term solution in
this particular case.
If anyone can be of help, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Tom
