Hello,
I work for Wachovia Bank, and we have a software solution, and It is very easy to use.
Next time when I use it, I'll try to get some details, and provide this list.
I used to have a talking security card, but suddenly it stopped working, and the manufacture doesn't make it anymore. 

Best wishes,
             Aran

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

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
