I've seen QNX and Xenix mentioned on ATM's. Never seen OS/2 but then most
ATM's you don't see any software trademarks at all so who knows. It would
be interesting to know what they use but somehow I doubt this is generally
public info as of course it opens them up to script kiddies that might try
to hack the damn things. :)
