RE: [mv] Minivend not calling CyberCash - any ideas?
I have found that the most important thing in getting CyberCash to work is
to use their test page and scripts to verify that the installation is
correct. Getting Minivend to recognize the CyberCash libs is easy, but the
connection only works if the merchant conf file is properly configured.
PGP is unrelated.
