We'd like to use USB-connected cryptographic smart tokens with things
like the iPAQ or the Sharp Zaurus.  From a brief study of the USB spec,
it looks as if one could easily hack a cable to connect the handheld
to a female "A" connector into which a token could be plugged.  The
question is whether the USB driver software under Linux would know
what to do.  Has anybody tried this?  Is there any hope?
