What procedure must be done to check/charge credit card numbers via computer? I assume its doable, since companies like Compuserve seem to do it. I'm investigating this to see if having non-USPS methods of payment would increase subscriptions to the extra features of a BBS I cosysop. Also, since its only $10/yr, would it be economically feasable to accept credit cards? -Roger -- "The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim" - Edsgar W.
