I am glad you corrected your-self...
ActivCard did not implement a good CSP/PKCS#11 on Windows too... :(

Athena and Aladdin produce good support software... I am using their cards
and I am very happy... Athena support Linux well... And even share the same
cards between Windows CSP/PKCS#11 and Linux PKCS#11!!!
