[Hidden-tech] Credit Card Payments

[Paul Stallman]

We do a lot of this and I concur with Rich.  No monthly fees.  It's a higher
percent but other than that it's the best way to go.

If you want to talk to a guy that knows the credit card business and is a
straight shooter (not your normal credit card processing sales guy).  Call
this Rick Rheault (I've copied his info below).  He'll tell you if it's
something that will work for you or not.  They have by far the best discount
rates in the area.
