Anyone familiar with using wireline or wireless phone for 2 factor authentication for landline network attached applications such as terminal services?

I wish I could help, the only one I know of is over at https://www.myopenid.com/ they offer CallVerifID with there OpenID service.

On reviewing CalVerifID from My OpenID I see that they use Phone Factor. Could be a good place to start

There is actually a terminal services - specific utility for phonefactor that makes setup really easy, at www.phonefactor.com/terminalservices. Took us about a half hour. Downloaded it to the terminal server, selected phone numbers for users, home in time for dinner!

Big idea is that (for services such as PhoneFactor) the phone serves as the 2-nd factor Authentication. When remote app--such as MS OWA calls the server (after user enters username and password), server tells solution to place an outbound call to user. User responds to call by pressing "#."

Surprising about our setup is that the users are on our side. I'm used to convincing customers that this is really a good idea for us all despite the inconvenience of 2-factor Authentication. They actually have been pretty supportive, because they recognize that incremental inconvenience is so limited and incremental security benefit is so significant.
