Terminal with card reader

摘要

Terminals having analog/digital telephone functions as well as data exchange functions are used by users who are of lower skilled level than the average user of a personal computer. Therefore, such a terminal should be as much self-supporting and independent as possible, which can be realised by selecting and storing addresses of access providers and/or server providers in a non-mechanical terminal memory, which could further comprise software for performing protocols. Then the terminal is almost completely ready for use, with a complex and time-consuming installment by a user no longer being necessary.
