What about the SunRay.  I know it's not a really useful bit of hardware for
anything but replacing an Xterm (actually I think the SunRay's are a really
cool thin client solution) but they do have the Smartcard reader to re-load
your session no matter which SunRay you happen to plug it in to.

Or am I thinking about a different type of smartcard.
