Hi Birkir,
Thanks.
I hear you... It?s a client of mine so I don't think I get to sway their
I.T. team. I definitely don't use it in my own company.
I also am told that there's a software RSA generator but it uses images, not
text. Don't have it to try, but doesn?t sound promising.

Hi

A few of these vendors have a talking number generator. They may be clunky
and a bit pricy ($50 to $150 I think), but I have seen and used them (it's
been a while now so I can't tell you exactly what manufacturer I worked
with).
There is also a system where you get your security code as an sms, service,
so that might be an arrangement that might work.

I use Safeguard Mobile vpn client (not sure it is RSA though, think it is
just SSL) and that client works beautifully at connecting to intranet and
exchange server.
