computer database collecting company that collects the data related to
many banks in the area. It is all done through land lines and is not
very well protected. They aren't very careful about who or what they
let into the building also. If someone were to cut the lines the banks
in the area would be out for days and they wouldn't have a means to do
interbank transactions outside of the immediate area. Has anyone else
seen this in there area or heard of it. Wouldn't it be a better idea to
do the transactions by satellite.

Very vulnerable to jamming.
