I want to know whether TCP/IP is used in applications such as banking system, car registration system, information retrieval system or other database management system (centralized or distributed). The ARPA Internet, X25Net of CSNET, and NSFNet use TCP/IP but support only Telnet, FTP, SMTP or Finger. Some campus networks support network window or network file systems. Whois may be a kind of network database retrieval system. However, I don't know other higher level or large-scale applications. Mike O'dell, maximo!mo@seismo.CSS.GOV, told me that the system for the Bank of Milan in Italy was the best example. Is there any example in this country? Regards, - Gitchang - -------
