Hi Ken, I read the article by Schultz, but don't recall the other by an investigative reporter. Fortunately, I haven't had to deal with too many SCADA systems in the past 4 years (where you find a lot of embedded systems). Prior to this though, I worked on a couple of projects that were on oil pipelines and one that I care about would be the California Department of Water Resources (they take care of the aquaducts). The fact is that these systems can and do fail and they have to be serviceable. Additionally, the design is that a failure at one point cannot (or should not) cause a catastrophic failure of the system. The systems that I installed helped provide the communications back to the control system of the status along the pipeline or aquaduct. Did I address the right issue from the Schultz article? JXM
