We have a client that is opening another branch in another country.
What we want to do is get stock information from the other site and display it in the Local OI system, and visa verca.
We dont want to use VPN as attaching the data and reading the files are toooooo slowwwwww.
If we setup a web server on both sites, can we utilise PHP or Oecgi to read the other engine, and return data to the local PC.
ie make the two engines "talk" to each other.
Any suggestions, ideas will be welcomed.

Gerry,
Seems to me that if you can establish a tcp/ip connection to a web server, you could just as easily establish a tcp/ip connection to an OpenEngine server and do your inter-engine communications directly. The only complication that I can see off-hand is ensuring that this engine is already running and ready to be connected to.
