...among other things.  There have been changes made to Payment.pm, 
include/checkout/*_payment, ord/checkout, plus probably other pages I 
haven't thought of.  I did get online check processing back in the day 
of those old versions, but I remember I had to make quite a few changes 
as it didn't work properly "out of the box".  I can't recall all the 
changes I need to make, but these are some of the problems you'll run into:

Form variable names in ord/checkout don't match the ones expected by the 
payment modules for online checking.

Variables aren't passed through to the payment module properly.

You will need to come up with a way for the payment module to 
differentiate between a checking transaction and a CC one.

You will need to add the support to the payment module (or swap it out 
as Jon suggested).

There are probably more issues, those are just off the top of my head.

Note that if you upgrade to the IC 5.6.0 all those issues have been 
resolved, but make note that if you just do a core upgrade you will 
still have to make ord/checkout changes and include/checkout/*payment 
changes.
