I thought I saw mention of Linux on the gemplus forums. They need to
update their site to reflect the working platforms or they'll lose
customers. If anyone from Gemplus is reading this, a lot of your
website doesn't work with Mozilla (from Ximian) or the 4.x series
netscape on Linux.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the transport keys?

I thought there would be some card-specific 'stuff' necessary to get a
cardlet working. I talked with someone in the Sun R&D group last week
and he told me I didn't need to buy any toolkits or card-specific
software in order to do cardlet development. I told him I was pretty
sure I did need to get the vendor toolkit. It sounds to me like you're
confirming this.
I have some Cyberflex Access 16 and the Linux toolkit. They would suit
my needs except the card just won't work with my GPR400 reader. Until I
can get them to work with my reader, I need to find an alternate
Javacard and toolkit.

My target development reader is not serial. I'd actually rather use the
PC/SC-OCF bridge anyway.
thanks for the info.
