Ok. I thought that earlier PC/SC SRCOM versions also included Sun Ray's.
At least, it's great if you have already added this support and I am
already waiting for these libraries!!

Well, I got a typical screen prompting for my username (I suppose it
means as token not configured) until I configured DTU to be a token
reader using command "utreader". This behaviour is much better as I can
continue working normally after inserting a smart card.
