i had the same problems getting an answer from ComCard. but i got one
yesterday. now i got the email address of Mr.Haertel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
there, for further contact. i hope he don't mind that i post his address
here. i hope a get an answer from him very soon.
GemPlus was very quick. they read our postings here an send me a preview
version of CardServices for the GPK8000 card (only some hours later). i had
a look at it and it seems very promising. but i couldn't test it really
since i'm still waiting for the card samples to arrive.
