Arthur and all, Heard from a lurker on the two url's. Thanks Psam057! Hope you don't mind my relaying your message... "Acccessed both sites. No mention of IDX or IDT. Did mention palm scanners, thumb prints, and mentioned problems with wet thumbs. FastGate was mentioned. No company was mentioned that I saw. Enjoy your post. Don't like Randy. I've seen to many good companies bite the dust from the management style of Randy." Thanks again Psam057, If you come across anything new, let us know. Smart card news; Biometrics <<excerpt>>The use of biometrics continues to expand across a wide range of applications throughout the world. From banking to welfare, user organizations increasingly recognize that precise identification and user authentication are key requirements for reducing fraud and for increasing information and enterprise security. After decades of limited use, sales have begun to soar as the number of applications for biometric devices measuring hand, finger and face geometry continues to expand. Major electronics manufacturers are incorporating the technology into their keyboards, ATMs, PCs and other portable devices for increased user flexibility and security. Biometrics seminars will examine the latest industry changes and the status of the industry's efforts to create a generic standard for the easy integration and interchangeability of biometric devices. The current state of biometric applications in banking, welfare, immigration and information security will then be examined. Issues related to personal privacy and the ''friendliness'' of various legislative environments also will be explored. biz.yahoo.com steve
