[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and Credit Card Machines

[Boris Bakchiev]

I had CC readers going over the internet (with pings over 80ms)
connected to Linksys PAP2.
It was only successful once every 3 attempts.
I had 100% reliability when it was connected on LAN.

Timing is an issue, if you doing everything on LAN it should not be a
problem. Just make sure you use G.711 protocol.
