Wanted: UNIX-based cash register polling software

[Frank McKenney]

A friend of mine is trying to find UNIX-based software which will
handle "polling" for his NCR cash registers.  I apologize for possibly
over-posting this request, but I couldn't find a single really
appropriate category.

The company is currently using a software package called ADCOM
(?ADDCOM?) which runs on an NCR Tower (ITX).  This package takes a
control file containing telephone numbers, etc.(1) and uses it to make
calls to each location.  The transaction data at each site is
downloaded on a daily basis to the Tower and merged into his
accounting system.

The company is in the process of replacing the NCR with an RS/6000
(AIX), and needs software to replace ADCOM.

Pointers to any software of this type, commercial or otherwise,
on any *NIX base, will be appreciated.
