Hi! I'm sure the Chase and Bank One have switched over to

You think so? I don't. I'm guessing that their data moves via
phone
lines. If the phone lines aren't there, it'll move when there
are
phone
lines.

My guess is that their mainframe stuff uses buried fiber optic
circuits. In 1988 I got the nickel tour of the then-new Union
Pacific Railroad Control Center in Omaha. The Comm chief
actually
showed me where two circuits emerged on two sides of the
building,
one running via St. Louis and the other running via Kansas
City.
In
vital data circuits, redundancy is the name of the game.
But Dave says they're likely to fail.

I have? I don't recall ever considering that radio amateurs would
attempt to pass financial data for bands in time of emergency.

It looks as if you're still confused.

David, which bands would those be? Joe Walsh? Ronnie Milsap?
