Jim is right.  RBC Centura is my bank and they are quite good and they
use a very hardened version of UNIX that has been Orange Book C2 certified
for multi-level Mandatory Access Controls which I've helped develop (at
least when I last consulted for them).

I suspect that the Winbloz version is for sale to other banks that are
MS-hypnotized.

RBC Centura is an excellent bank.  Their people do care and treat me very
well, their fees are reasonable, and they can move fast for loans, they
rarely screwup, etc.  They have offices around Metro Atlanta, including
Buckhead and just off I285 at Buford Highway.
