YES!  Any and all information regarding those standards would be very
helpful.  I'm a merchant and have their PC software, but want to connect

I was planning on reverse engineering the datastream.

This is not a complete announcement, but I'm working with someone who is
going to do the equivalent of credit card factoring, but with checks.
(You send a transaction, he prints the check, with validation.)
He's also working on EFT.
