You should look at: http://www.cybercash.com I'm not sure if they have a FreeBSD version yet, but you may be able to get the BSDI version to run on FreeBSD. The software is called SMPS. SMPS is just the server that runs on your system and communicates with CyberCash's server to check and authorize credit card transactions via the web. Takes about 3 to 5 seconds to do a transaction. Realize that this is an actual credit card authentication, not a checksum check. If the credit card is invalid or does not have the funds available, it will return failure. You will also need an account with a bank or credit card processing company that will work with CyberCash or whatever gateway service you find, but usually you should try to use a processor that is already doing business with the gateway service. You see, CyberCash only provides an Internet gateway to a card processor. Hope this helps.
