just to throw my $.02 in, we here at motorola use a security system
between our modems and the systems.  every user has a credit card sized
device with an lcd display with a six digit number that changes randomly (?)
once a minute.  to use it one dials in, connects with a modem, enters
a four digit PIN followed by the number currently in the window.
once validated, it allows you to pass through to the hosts.

it's made by security dynamics in boston and is called the "ace system"
