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?

Could you limit your signature a bit ?
Anyway what you suggest should work, since if using alaw or alaw
faxing even works. So I think an ata setup like you described should
work fine.
