According to the news this morning, yes, it is/was the computer that handles flight plans. They didn't say what type, vendor, or anything else about the computer itself. Probably one of those really ancient mainframe things ;) Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

According to the news: Some flights were more than two hours behind schedule. Airports around the South also reported delays and cancel source of the computer software malfunction was a "packet switch" that "failed due to a database mismatch."
