Some gas stations use it for the card swipe at the pump. Think about the
data in a card swipe, not much there to send or receive, a D channel does
the job. You can bring all the pumps back to a site then run them into a
credit card clearing house, or if you have the volume get your own MIP
(MasterCard interface processor) to query member banks or get a stand in
from day olds or the MIP itself to verify the card, 90 seconds max from
swipe to yea or nay, that is the goal using the D channel, yea sure 90
seconds. ;-)
