Mark,

We have had some distressing news.  Security Dynamics charges "HIGH"
prices for their technical support, which they get because the docs
are not all that great.  Then, they replace all the knowledgeable
folks with newbies.  Ouch!!!

You may want to consider smart cards.  Verisign seems to be the leader,
but I am only just looking into these, as well.  Cylink has a new card
reader for under $50 (in quantity) and the cards do NOT lose their 
battery life.

Any one else out there have more info?

Bob De Witt,
