Freeradius and Hardware Tokens

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a replacement solution for centralized 
authentication for one customer.
They want openness and standards.

Freeradius seems a very good solution, but they also want a solution 
that permits use of hardware tokens.

I looked that FreeRadius support X9.9, so I have a simple question :

Which are the hardware tokens that can be used surely with FreeRadius 
(fully supported)?

I saw that cryptocards are fully supported, but references are often 
dated of 2002.
Today, are cryptocards still usable?
If yes what is possible and what is not. For example how can we manage 
tokens, is there an open source tool?
How can we reset a blocked token (too much pin errors)?
do we need initializer? but then do we need also cryptocard server? and 
if yes how muche licenses do we need and what is the advantage of using 
freeradius with it?


Are there other tokens than cryptocards fully or well supported?

I am actually blocked by these questions and can't find any answers, 
even in the mailing list.

Thanks for a quick response, as I have to give answer to my customer in 
2 days (sic).
