RE: First Data
I've been using PayWare Transact since it was called ROI Card, created by Ira Chandler. It changed from ROI Card to Java Card to JCharge then incorporated with RITA and Payware Transact. Somewhere in the middle Verifone bought the company.
We have been processing thru FD from day one, using US Robotic modems to start then of course migrated to IP. It has been rock solid. We also process thru Paymentech without any problems.
Ira went on to create Curbstone.

PayWare Transact from Verifone. Actually made the transition from TSYS to FD better. Still able to use the same interface from the application. The back end was a little more difficult, but it's supporting many many transactions and many merchant numbers.
