[cisco-voip] IP Phone 7841 AUX Port and Credit Card Machine

[Brian Meade]

You should be able to run an XML service on the phone to read the data from
the credit card reader and do something with it.  I think this may have
been a Cisco StadiumVision feature with the 7975s where you could order
food/drinks and pay right on the phone.
