As I said, based on my understanding of the architecture, one of two things may have happened: * A problem in the network that effectively took the ATMs offline. * A software update to the ATMs that went wrong. The way they update ATMs is usually to use an alternate disk partition. You update the partition that is not in use, then switch the boot record to point to the partition with new software. The systems all reboot at some point during the night and it'll come up on the new partition with the new software. All can be run over the network. To revert, you change the boot record to point back to the old version, and command a reboot. Very safe way to recover. I am guessing this is not the problem because recovery would be very easy. It's something that happens often enough that they're good at it. My experience is limited to what I've been told by the guy I know. I presume that there are probably other failure modes I haven't considered. mg
