| I heard there is an OS/2 application (called CT server) used by banks. Could someone please tell me what it does and its full name ? Is it the one installed in the ATM machines ? Thanks in advance. |

| Hmm. the closet I know about is CBT, Crypto Based Transaction system that where developed by IBM Netherlands for local bank there and that later on then got productified by IBM (my memory is a bit blur regarding the origin of the product, but's couple of years since I worked with it). But, I don't know if this would be the same. CBT is product that gives you a secure enviroment to execute your transaction; but the really nice feature is that it gives you end to end encryption betwen the different system throught firewalls, etc. |

| Thank first for the info. Is it still running in banks ? Is it running on workstation or server platform of OS/2 ? Would appreciate to show me link so that I can find out more information on its function. Same as you, I am not sure. At present, I found another interpretation of CT (Consumer Transaction). That is an application previously owned by IBM and then transferred to NSS (www.nsscorp.com). I asked this question because I am curious on whether there is still any critical financial application which can only run on OS/2. If you or anyone else know another meaning of CT, please share with me. Thanks again |
