There are multiple forms of AS2, most used is AS2 over HTTP(S).
AS2 (over HTTP) is a server protocol: to use AS2 you will need an AS2-server. Each partner requires their own AS2 communications gateway. All AS2 software is designed to be interoperable. There are several open source implementations, as well as commercial software and hosted services.
