    I can't see why this would be a Zen Cart problem.
    The "205" response-reason-code comes from Authorize.net, and means "This error code applies only to merchants on FDC Omaha. The value submitted in the merchant number field is invalid." ... which to me means that your Authorize.net Account has invalid settings in it (ie: the merchant number in your profile, used to connect from authorize.net to your FDC Omaha bank merchant account). You'll need to work with them to get your account profile set up correctly on their system.
