The CC merchant machines I've encountered require entry of the account number, exp date, total charge, etc. before dialing and transmitting the data. Even though we are able to pass DTMF successfully through the gateway, we still make the recommendation that any application that requires a negotiation phase (ie, fax machines, CC merchant machines, dial-up modem) remain on a traditional POTS line. And just like you mention, alternative methods are available including web access.

Hopefully, the technological disconnect between voip and dial-up data transmission will come to pass sooner than later.

I am interested in hearing some user experiences of anyone using a
merchant account.  The constraints are that everything entered must be
DTMF-able.  Card number, CCV, exp, numeric portion of the street
address, zipcode are all easy.   name however is not so easy.

How have others solved this problem?  Or have they only set up systems
where web access is required?
