| With CCTV you'd face a different problem.  Several CCTV

|
| There's more to it than that.  In order to transact CC sales
| online you need a US commercial bank account.  Due to tightening
| post-911 regulations that's becoming more of a pain to obtain.
| US-based credit card processing companies will require
| documentation before allowing you to process online sales.  You
| could use a Bahamian cc processor but some US card companies
| decline large ticket foreign orders on the assumption there's
| fraud involved unless the cardholder notifies them in advance.

| You need more than ADI.  I have accounts with most major
| distributors and several manufacturers.

| I prefer to drop ship everything.
