Good point Ewen, I'm looking at the Ascent site now and can see that we
should be able to get a dual interface for only $20-$30 more.
That is probably the best way to go then - something like the ICE
ME-720U2F which is $159.75 (although slightly cheaper for cash as Ascent
give a 1.5% discount for cash).
I'd welcome any input on alternative units that are available but it
sounds like so far no-one has anything against the idea.
