My employer has come up with a soft version of the logon token. Perhaps I
could ask if we would be able to share the technology.

Hi Eric,
I know that on some systems, you hold your card against something or swipe
it 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 an
accommodation, they had to put me in a special group and they didn't
install
the encryption software onto my computer. I honestly have no basis for
answering your question. I was just giving you a little more of a picture
of
the kinds of things that can happen.
Thanks.
Jim

Subject: How can a blind person use a smart card?
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.
Eric
