I am looking for an easy login device for a remote PC display, that will not require the entering of any keystrokes or passwords, etc.. I am looking for something like a card reader or alike type of device. Where could I get that information.
PC OSis Windows NT.

It really depends on your application. If it's for inventory or work flow tracking, you cant try wedge readers or other types of barcode readers and login and enter data via bar codes. Intermec has a number of products available which will work inmost any environment.

I'm assuming that you mean that you want to be able to login to the or network from this station?? Try looking at www.biometricaccess.com, they deal with fingerprint scanners for this purpose.

Never tried it mysself but some of the major PC vendors are starting to include this sort of thing as an option....

Using the registry for Windows NT you can setup an auto-login for a remote PC display. I have used this feature and it works well, but it limits you to one login for the remote PC.

Try Acer Computer newest notebook. It has a build in Smartcard reader.

Look into the card reader idea and forget biometrics if this is for wide area implementation. If you are looking for a simple answer for yourself, fingerprints are ok. If you have overly dry fingers it probably won't work for you, even with an oil stone. Software developement takes time and money. If you want simple you will have to type in a user ID for basic account-based access (non-searchable database). If the keystroke thing is for security purposes this is fine. Plus people get uneasy forgiving fingerprints to their employer. I get the FBI joke all the time. Also very good for monitoring access to all applications on the network.
Good luck hunting.
