If this is a roll-your-own solution, then you will need to find out from them what format they need in order to create the proper interface. I know the frustration in dealing with Micros as I worked for a hotel group in my last position. Not fun. The interfaces are usually big bucks and all they really do is just take a data file, usually just a flat file and read it in. That will be $5,000 for the interface, thanks, Ka-chink! If it isn't a roll your own. Micros may all ready have the interface and you just need to find out where to put the data. With the system we had, Hotel, it ran on (he runs his hand over his mouth to minimize the sound emanating) SCO. It used serial connections directly to the readers to capture the data. My suggestion is to be sure that you get a good backup of all data before starting this implementation. BTW, we had saved ourselves the hassle of going with Darwin, Cais, etc and trying to feed that into Hotel. I wired one hotel totally and one partially to provide Internet access to the rooms and ran it through our T1 at the hotel on a separate network using Linux boxes to provide DHCP and firewalling for the hotel. We gave it away just like HBO. Ed "Glad to be out of the Hotel business" Croft
