IBM's 2 year contract for web based airline ticketing

Partnering with CISCO for routers to move a 30 year old ticket-transaction application to a internet protocol :

techweb.com

will write it in JAVA with SITA - might use "NCs":

" I BM and SITA will develop a Java-based version of
Advanced Communication System Access, which
links TPF terminals and PCs with emulators to the
host. The new software will let users deploy IP-based
PCs -- or even network computers -- as replacements
for the aging dumb devices. "


Contract could be HUGE !
