Ideally, I would like an easy, client-less, two-factor authentication solution. Has anyone tried this? Moreover, are there any inexpensive, secure or two-factor authentication products to protect personal/home web URLs?

I've also considered a VPN solution with my LinkSys Firewall/Router, but it involves a client installation. As an alternative, I've turned to two-factor authentication schemes, including products such as Rainbow's iKey, Authenex's A-Key and RSA's SecureID, but they are too expensive." -
Crypto Hardware Card
NeoMage writes "Rainbow Technologies have created a PCI card that will improve secure web site performance by up to 90%. Looks like they are doing for the crypto market what 3D cards did for the gaming market, offloading crypto calculations to a dedicated processor. " This sounds quite useful. On many servers, doing calculations for things like SSL can be the most consuming task. It's listed as being compatible with Linux, too... -
