I'm still happy with Bank ofAmerica and AuthNet at $15 + $6.50, but I need to set up anothermerchant account for another site, and have occasional inquiries fromclients, so I wanted to get a little dialog going.

Sincethere's quite a bit of hands-on to manage it anyway, I'm going to dropit, and build my own system to hit the cards on the billing date.That way I can automate everything, including the customercancelling, and build a cleaner interface for managing the subs.A friend of mine is a rep for LynkSys and I'm meetingwith her today.
