Well, that's the trick, isn't it? ;-)

It will work, but you'll need to do one of two things:

- Reverse engineer the initializer, then you can program the tokens
  yourself (with keys that you generate), or
- Figure out how cryptoadmin encrypts the keys stored in its database.
  Cryptoadmin can be downloaded free from www.cryptocard.com.

I would suggest taking the second route (involves no cost other than
some time and skill), then you'll know you can get the keys.  Then
buy the initializer and tokens and work on the first part.

No.

Absolutely..

Dunno.  You'll have to reverse engineer that also.

There is at least one for the Palm.  I'm sorry I don't have any more info.
For hardware tokens, another route to take is to buy the PassGo Defender
token, it has full docs on how to program it.  But it doesn't have
a synchronous mode. :-(

ActivCard also has full specs, you'd need to license the dev kit from them
(it's pretty expensive).
