From the article:

“ “Will you take a corporate check which I promise to put in the mail?”

She was sure this wouldn’t work.

“You will?!” ”

What if a check was never sent?

Eat the cost and never accept payment by promised check over the phone ever again.

I'm more intrigued as to what the machines were, and why Windows NT wouldn't run properly on them.

Just ask them to send you an invoice. I was in a similar bind decades ago. There was Western Union, but too much hassle. "Can you send me bill? Here's my name, address...that way you have a paper trail". At that time, mailing invoices was common. They did, my company paid them too. If I recall, it was for $0.99.
