There used to be one, but I don't know of one anymore.
Probably the best solution for us, at least as far as I'm aware, is one of
the virtual credit card terminals...which is to say, a merchant account that
provides online credit card processing. There are several of these. I have
an Email somewhere about how one can get a fairly cheap merchant account
from Costco. An option i've used in the past when i was working with
Scent-Sations (a candle company) as a distributor, was at www.propay.com
(I'll look it up if someone's really interested). While they do have a
higher per-transaction fee, it's cheaper in the long term if you don't do a
lot of business, like enough to get the good discounts from traditional
merchant account providers. Anyway, it hada fairly usable interface which
worked with Freedombox nicely and with IE; probably with Firefox, too, but
that wasn't an option when I used them.
Now, of course, Watkins handles all my credit card transactions, or else
Paypal does, so I don't need my own at this point, so i'm afraid I don't
know what's currently available, or what's changed, if anything.
