I programmed a solution for a UNIX filepro package using sockets and 
PCCharge Payment Server.  The PCCharge software has a package that is 
UNIX based (Rita)or a package that is windows based to serve the 
processing between your application and the merchant processing.

The Windows server version is identical to the Unix server version but 
the licensing on Unix is 10 times more.  We opted for the Windows server 
and since it is accessed via sockets the time to process is about 4 sec 
or so on average.  (Adding a Windows machine just to do this was cheaper 
than the silly Unix PCCharge Payment server - Go figure.)

The data is formated in XML packets.  I wrote my side in call tables to 
make it easy to attach it to other applications.

The software can process Credit, Debit, Gift cards, Checks but my 
customer only needed the credit stuff.  The others have minor variations.

I have not had occasion to speak with them in a while but the support 
was "human" and "timely".  Two words you do not normally see in a 
software support referral.
