hey * folk,
need to tap the collective wisdom of this list for any details or
pointers to vendors who manufacture/sell SIP or IAX phones with
builtin magnetic stripe readers. these phones will be used in
combination with * in a prepaid application. it would be advantageous
if the mag stripe data was sent as DTMF over the SIP connection.
any clues as to who manufactures/produces these phones ?
Years ago it was common to integrate a credit card magnetic strip reader into phones
for doing
credit card authorizations. The industry moved to stand-alone authorization terminals
years ago.
The pay phone industry has been using phones with integrated magnetic strip readers,
and you may be
able to find some of these and use them with a SIP ATA. For example:

Here is a payphone with an ethernet interface:

You can also find magnetic card readers that have a DTMF output, you would need to
integrate such a
device with a phone of your choice. For example this reader has optional DTMF output:

Another possibility would be to use a magnetic stripe reader that attached separately
to an ethernet
connection:

If you used a soft client on a PC then you would have many different options for
attaching a
magnetic stripe reader: USB, RS-232, Keyboard wedge, built-in to keyboard, etc.
