asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Credit card machines, Asterisk and Digium any issues?

Hi,

We want to be able to use any of 4 outgoing lines (POTS connected to FXO 
cards on a Digium TDM400P card) for a credit card machine (you know 
those little machines that have a phone line attached and are in many 
small establishments) We have 4 FXS for analog phones and 2 credit card 
machines. Are there any issues that I might encounter doing this? I 
assume it is just like a analog fax machine searching for an available 
line to go out on. Also if any one has done this and can shared their 
configuration I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I'll bump this thread and add a link to a similar one.

I'm trying to do the same thing, but am learning all I
can before getting an actual cc machine to test. I
know very little about them. Be kind to this noob.  

I have a crude demo set up where a human operator
takes the customer's input from a recording and then
hand-keys info into cc machine without actually
talking to customer, that won't be practical for
larger volume.

Do your cc machines have a line-in to connect to the 
FXS?

Is this the setup you want?:

FXO<--->TDM/System<--->2FXS<--->2CC
Machines<--->Merchant Account

Anyone else doing/trying this?
