That single box can be one of the Mac servers.I'm sort of bugged by the idea of having to involve the bank AND a third party in the transaction (with VeriSign, it's actually a fourth party). Some vendors actually require that you send the order info to them and they display the final confirmation page from their servers.I love this - getting charged more for a TCP transaction that can only save them money, getting charged a monthly fee, and having to turn over each and every buying customer to them.We can buy software to communicate via TCP directly with the different bank networks, but this requires individual certification (big $$) from each. Mind blowing especially when I don't need any sort of certification to connect to the very same networks with a modem.############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
