This depends on what sort of software Visanet supports. I don't know
what Visanet is exactly, so I can't be sure, but I am guessing that it
is the main clearinghouse for Visa and that it has some method for
automated connection. If ICVerify supports it, it is possible to make
Interchange use that by mounting a PC directory via Samba and
manipulating some files. It won't be like falling off of a log, but
it shouldn't be too hard for a top-notch consultant.
