What I think is
- Why do you posted this request 3 times in short succession? - I don't think this has anything to do with Oracle, but more with the TCP/IP implementation on your O/S, which you don't mention (so don't expect accurate responses)
- IMO anything *NOT* involving SSL with respect to credit cards is simply out of the question. You don't want to expose your customers to credit card fraud, do you?
