| We have some experience with non-technical (Physician) users and SecurID.
| Wouldn't mind talking over details if you find your are going that route.

| We would now prefer to use dial-back for modems and maybe S-key over the net.
| The card was difficult enough for people to use that many would write the 
| Modem phone number AND the PIN on the card.  

	Did you do any user education before introducing the cards?
I've found that a quick demo of sniff, in conjunction with speaking in
terms of protecting patients, gets doctors interested enough that they
accept S/key paper lists.  I also make an effort to present this as
gee-whiz nifty spy kinda stuff.  We encourage them to carry the lists
with them, and seem to have good sucsess.
