Geez... these are both very expensive examples.  The merchant accounts that
we setup are about $30 / month + small transaction charges.  The Internet
Point of Sale System is about $250 to setup and then $30 / month, plus very
small transaction charges.  Plus you have a complete accounting management
system included for your merchant account and by using it,  you save the
$450 to $800 for those expensive credit card machines.  The system replaces
the need for the machine.  Just amazing how expensive the systems you
mention are.  Hard to believe! Can you identify them?

Thanks,
