    I am looking for a way to use two factor authentication on laptops. I
    want the authentication to occur at boot up, or as replacement for the
    normal login box. The user should have to have something other than
    just a password to gain access to the unit.

    These laptops will be used in three different ways. First as a stand
    alone unit with no type of network access. Second, as stand alone
    unit with access to a network connection (i.e. in a hotel room, or
    client's office). Third connected to the network in the office via
    wireless or wire.

    Thanks for the help in advance.
