This is one of those little "slide the card thru" thingies that they
have in retail stores to process credit cards.  They read the magnetic 
stripe on the card and call a phone number to send the card info to to 
get credit approval.  To get more info, look at http://www.hks.net/;
they make software to let a Unix system emulate those credit card
terminals so you can hook point of sale terminals up to a central
credit clearing server, or to do e-commerce on the web.
