Thank you very much for your offer. This may certainly help adding
smart card support to open source projects.

Just one question, as I understand it, you would need both a smart
card itself and a smart card _reader_ to use it. Is the reader also
included in this offer?
(I do not want to sound ungrateful, just making sure I do not order a
card I cannot use)
