Ok, apparently it is called Monetra. Google brought up a lot about it by that name. The programmer said "it's pretty slick" and that their sales guy was actually able to handle technical questions.

"Monetra™ Payment Processing Engine is the only native, certified, and actively maintained credit card processing engine for Linux and FreeBSD; while also maintaining enterprise-level offerings for Solaris, AIX, and SCO Unix."

payments. What are the first steps I should take?


If you're looking for something *nix based that you can call with your own program (kind of like an api) and get results back to your program then I know of one good affordable solution (most are not reasonably priced). From what our programmers told me, you can interface to it with perl and other languages -- the company supplies example code.

We searched for a long time to find something reasonably priced due to how few credit cards we actually process. Most companies want thousands of dollars and are java based plus annual maintenance. I think the company they found was $800 or so (I think). Of course, you would then need a merchant account with someone to use this software with (maybe even them) but they are certified.

Anyway, if you're interested email me directly and I'll talk to our programmers and find out who the company is.
