Thanks Matthias. I've been reading about it and I think the cert is stored 
on the machine but it is tied to that computer and not exportable. If you 
get a new computer you need to buy a new certificate. So I don't think I'll 
experiment, and we'll just do the whole thing on the Windows box.

The sad part is that if we'd renewed just a couple of weeks earlier we'd 
have been within the cutoff date and could have purchased the old type of 
certificate.

If anyone else has used the new token hardware I'd be grateful for any tips 
or suggestions. This is all new to me.
