plugs in between the keyboard and the computer and it sends keystrokes and
an enter key just as if someone had typed it into the keyboard (at least the
one we used).
Just have to make sure focus is in the right place when they swipe the card.
You may also want to consider bar-code and proximity cards which work the
same way. Bar codes are nice 'cause you can easily print them up (good for
testing). We only went with card-swipers in order to be compatible with
technology already in use at the conference our software was for.
Good luck,
Sam

Subject: Card swiper interface?
Hi all,
Anyone out there have any experience connecting a credit card swiper to
a ColdFusion application? We have a POS that we built for a client.
Right now they enter CC numbers by hand. But they're busy (that's a
good thing) so they want to ease the process.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ian Lurie
