[Asterisk-Users] Credit Card machines / interop

[Alex Barnes]

The object wasn't really to try to reduce costs by passing the call over
VOIP but since a possible deployment will not have a channel bank other
old school PBX type things I still need a way to connect these Credit
Cards machines to the ISDN line via the *.

	These machines in many cases call a freephone number, 800 number
in N. America but, around the world mostly numbers that are tollfree.
You cannot change the machine so like the Borg you need to adapt!

		Hi all,
		 
		One of the areas I am trying to research before I can
confidently start deploying Asterisk is "Credit Card Machines". (PDQ /
Streamline machines / any similar)
		 
		I'm talking about the credit card swipe boxes at point
of sale desks.  I believe they dial out to the specific bank provider
everytime a card is swiped.
		 
		My question is:
		 
		- Does anyone have any experience using these type of
devices with Asterisk, possibly with a SIPURA type SIP device.
		- If not, is my assumption that at the very worst I will
just have to connect them to a FXS port on the * and that should let the
device break out onto the ISDN E1 line?
		 
		As always thanks for any insights / advice people can
give.
		 
		cheers
		 
		alex

protocol questions feel free to ask)

		Dear Friends of Ubiquity Software: 
		 
		As you may have noticed, Ubiquity Software began using
the web domain ubiquity.com earlier this year in addition to the
previously established ubiquity.net for our website and email
communications to you.  However, since that time, a dispute has emerged
with respect to actual ownership of the ubiquity.com domain.

		 
		As an international software company founded over decade
ago, you can always reach Ubiquity Software under the website
www.ubiquity.net <http://www.ubiquity.net/ <http://www.ubiquity.net/> >
and via email at @ubiquity.net.  However, we have also chosen to expand
our domain to the more specific www.ubiquitysoftware.com
<http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/ <http://www.ubiquitysoftware.com/> >
for web and @ubiquitysoftware.com for email communications.
		 
		Please use either the historical ubiquity.net or begin
to use the new ubiquitysoftware.com domain for all email communications
to Ubiquity employees from now on. 
		  
		Thank you.
