Which two ISP's, and why don't you like their solutions?


TouchNet Canada is based in Ottawa, and provides payment server software
that will work with Canadian banks for credit card processing, among
other things.  

http://www.touchnet.ca

Their website sucks, but they have a good product.


There is also a provider in Toronto offering smaller-scale solutions
for people who just want a cheap website with credit-card payment
services.  Let me know if you want more info.
