There's actually a small box inside those atms to capture the tx's when the
db of the acquirer bank is down and depending on the card, issuance is
almost guaranteed and the risk carried by the issuer bank.
I don't know what they are now for IBM atms, but last few years there is a
slow trend towards MS, scary thought.
I think (meaning I don't know fore sure) SET is the "smart card" version
with a chip. Relatively common in Hong Kong, don't know about USA.
Wish theres a vpn here.
