as much as I dislike this technology, I guess I should ask to be included also.
people and companies are going to use it, so it would be good if I can help the VI to be able to also.

Hi Eric,I know that on some systems, you hold your card against something or swipeit and it works. Where I work, they use key fobs. The computers are encrypted. The key fob generates a password that you have to type into an edit box to get your computer to progress to the log-in screen. As anaccommodation, they had to put me in a special group and they didn't installthe encryption software onto my computer. I honestly have no basis foranswering your question. I was just giving you a little more of a picture ofthe kinds of things that can happen. Thanks.

Hello listers, My employer is in the process of getting me a smart card which will give me access to the mainframe and email from home. However, aparently the smart card has a visual display that must be read in order to log in. Have any of you encountered this? Have you found a solution? Could I scan the card somehow? Thanks in advance.
