Robin, I don't know all the specifics, but at my company we used to use a hard token. Since there was no way for me to read it, the security folks were able to set my account up so that it worked with password authentication. We have since gone to a soft token which is better. The soft token is still basically inaccessible with WindowEyes, but I found a work around for this. The soft token software has a button you click on to copy the ID to the clipboard. WE can't "see" that button, but I was able to set up a hotspot usint the HotSpot app that will route the mouse to the proper point on the screen and click on it. I then go paste the token in to the VPN login window. I know this is not as much detail as you would like, but I hope it helps a little.
Good luck!
