Re: Communication to Banks

I done it about 5 years ago to two different banks one was a snap one was not. 
Finally someone got the bright ideal to ask another 400 shop they where 
connecting to if they would fax us the description for the line, controller, 
and device, also the RPG and DDS. The other shop also  allowed me to call them 
and we where up and going within hours. This was after days trying to do it on 
my own. Sorry I do not have any listings of the configurations or programs.
