I think that that would be great (also in other places where possible) !

Ahhh, I was trying to tell why I'm talking about how the user interface
works.
Netscape is not a problem for me or anyone else at our office.

I have couple of smart cards here (Schlumberger & Dallas)
so I could do testing with IE & netscape
(also maybe with mozilla, it looks like smart card dlls meant for
windows
netscape also work with windows mozilla). Actually, the reason why I'm
really interested in openca is that there are no handy tools to populate
these cards with certificates (or let me correct: there are tools but
they cost megabucks).
