Tellan has been unable to provide us with a complete list of error codes, and a number of our customers insisted we make WebMerchant work this way (redial forever on the assumption that the unknown error really means 'bank is busy, try again'). WebMerchant 3.0 does not retry forever; instead it sends an email to the store's administrator telling them of the problem. I can add that error code to the list of known code in your existing WebMerchant 2.1.x if you prefer, so it doesn't redial forever.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
