Token Authentication Was: a good firewall/router?

I've been using PAM-USB (http://www.pamusb.org/). Linux Journal had an excellent article on it in this month's issue (http://interactive.linuxjournal.com/article/8338, login apparently required). I am personally using it for single-factor (token or password) alternate authentication on physically secured machines, and two-factor (token plus password) on laptops. It seems very easy to manage. And although it may not be one of those cute RSA fobs, it seems reliable and easy to replace a token when someone loses the USB key (often in my experience).

OK guys i gather really good information about what i need. Thank you very much!! Now the next think i want to know ...i`ll write it here i don't need to open another discussion about that...i really want to know is there a way to make my users authenticate with tokens(software) not with userID and Passwords i talking about my Linux boxes! Because now i work like Account Admin for a company and we use Token Authentication for Remote Access everybody knows that Csico VPN client and stuff like that...i am wondering is there anyway to start some kind of server or whatever on my PC?? Maybe i sound silly but that's the way i ask you all :)) because i want to know if there is a way to do it? Thank you guys you are great all of you!:)
