John,<br><br>Could you tell us more about the smart card device? How is
it hooked up<br>to yur computer? Is it a part of the computer? More
details would be<br>helpful,<br><br>-David<br><br>PS: Maybe with what
you learn in this experience, you could write an<br>up-to-date guide.<br><br><br>I know of two devices. A smart card reader and a USB plug in smart card device (www.spyrus.com or other vendor).<br><br>You have to start the Fedora smart card driver, and then use the smart card interface software that comes with the card, or you have to write your own.<br><br>The one I use is the USB device (with windows). An API was written to interface to the device. One has a protocol to respect. The actual communication with the card is via the Fedora interface.<br><br><br><div><div><div><div><div><div><strong><font size="1"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">------------------</span></font><br><font size="2"><br></font></strong><style><!--p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman";}filtered {margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;}div.Section1
