I am tring to use a Towitoko Chipdrive Smartcard reader, and I can’t seem to make it work.The default Towitoko drivers, available for download from their website don’t do the trick.
When I try to specify the driver that Lotus Notes can use, all of the provided *.dll don’t work.
If anyone has some experience with smartcards, and especially Towitoko, please help…
Thanks

Subject: Notes uses the PKCS#11 interface for smart cards and other cryptographic tokens
You need to find a DLL that provides a PKCS#11 interface. It is possible that the drivers you are trying to use only provide low-level APIs, such as T=0,T=1.
Most smartcard packages provide several layers of drivers and libraries – low level drivers to communicate directly with the reader, custom “middleware” libraries, and then libraries for a couple of high-level interfaces, such as PKCS#11 and MS-CAPI. Netscape and Mozilla also use PKCS#11, so if you selected either of those during installation of your smartcard software, it should be a fairly straightforward matter to track down the correct library.
