When I hit the bigger grocery stores, the approval is almost instantaneous. Not sure what they're using for backhaul to where, but it aint DSL or a phone line. Taking out that kinda distributed architecture would require attacking the protocol with a self propagating attack (~Stuxnet), not the individual sites that do the processing. Im sure Mastercard has some skills on how to run an internal 'cloud'. /kc -- Ken Chase - ken () heavycomputing ca - +1 416 897 6284 - Toronto CANADA Heavy Computing - Clued bandwidth, colocation and managed linux VPS @151 Front St. W.
