I am interested in hearing some user experiences of anyone using a<br>merchant account. The constraints are that everything entered must be<br>DTMF-able. Card number, CCV, exp, numeric portion of the street<br>address, zipcode are all easy. name however is not so easy.

The name is not used for card verification. Never has been.
You might be using software or an internet gateway that requires it,
but that information is not sent in the authorization request to the
bank, and it's not required. I've certified to just about every
bank network there is in the US, and I've never seen a specification
yet that requires the cardholders name.<br>
<br>
And that being the case, it doesn't matter what you send in the name field.<br>
