I am looking for an IBM PC hard disk security program with the 
following functionality:

- Password authentication at boot time. ==> Preferably a driver program
  which must be specified in the CONFIG.SYS file. It can be assumed that
  drive A: is wired to the B-connector and that the PC case is protected
  against unauthorized opening.

- Keyboard/screen locking. After a specified time or on request, the
  screen should be blanked and the keyboard locked. The user should
  be requested a password in order to unlock the system. ==> similar
  to the lockscreen command on SUN workstations.

- Optionally: file encryption. The PC is standalone, no LAN, so this
  feature is not so important.

I can't ftp from anywhere, but I can reach most mail servers, mailers
willing. If you know a program which comes close to what I described 
above, please send me a reply. I will summarize if appropriate.

Thanks,
