It seems you a have a private PPP connection DIRECTLY into the bank's
payment test system. You could replace your PC with a Linux box that
simply routes packets from the Internet into the private PPP connection,
BUT THIS IS A BIG SECURITY RISK!!
IP 1: WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ IP 2: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
Dialup (com1) Dialup (com2)
Internet -------------- Your PC (now a Linux) ------ Bank
or Cablemodem with a Masquarade
route between
IP 1 and IP 2
NOTE: This assumes that your Linux Box has 2 network interfaces
and IP1/IP2 are the IP address of these 2 network interfaces.
In the above configuration, you could easily replace the "Internet"
with your local LAN. I also used an Masquarade route (instead of a
simple static route) so that there will be no need to add a routing
entry at the bank's test system. I think this need of a route entry
at the bank side is the problem why your boss' transactions cannot
be completed (Of course I may be wrong).
If you have any questions, you can send me a private email. But
before doing this, make sure to get the bank's permission.
