Hi,

That's great. Now the quetsion of two applets vs introducing the OS
clients to the existing applets came up.

I beleive we already have an applet on our card from the vendor or the
managing group of the CAC cards. I was asked today if we really need
another applet or, if we just 'teach' the muscle and linux
applications how to communicate correctly. Do we really need two
applets? Would two applets be more maintainable than one, etc. I could
not answer the question with any certantity. Any thoughts?
