Are you looking at requiring this for all authentication, or just remote

access? The latter can be a lot cheaper....

At any rate, I've done a little with RSA SecurID. We were using their 
keyfobs, which ran us about $50 each (in bulk). I'd probably use them
again.

Chris, we are looking for a cost-effective alternative to passwords for all
users (appx. 300 users to date).  We have received a sample from Authenix
but the price is a little high.  Whatever solution we choose will need to be
strong.
