Roy Viggo Pedersen	Wednesday 05 May 2004 4:42:22 am Hi Marius, No, that's not allowed by BBS. The BBS Netterminal framework is easy to use, very secure, recognised by users and reasonable priced, so I can't see any reason not to use it. It also provides added safety to users with VISA and MasterCard, and it's possible to use BankAxept, Diners and American Express cards. I have not used the PHP API my self, but have made a similar API in Perl with the same functions. Both use the same C API from BBS. Roy

Hi Marius,

No, that's not allowed by BBS. The BBS Netterminal framework is easy to use, very secure, recognised by users and reasonable priced, so I can't see any reason not to use it. It also provides added safety to users with VISA and MasterCard, and it's possible to use BankAxept, Diners and American Express cards.

I have not used the PHP API my self, but have made a similar API in Perl with the same functions. Both use the same C API from BBS.
