The Internet Shopping Network

The Internet Shopping Network is the Web-based electronic catalogue of one company, which sells computer-related products including hardware and software. Would-be customers register with the company and phone in their credit card details, after which they are given a membership ID and can place orders for products over the Web by means of fill-out forms. For reasons of security credit card transactions do not take place directly over the Web.
