We actually use both the SECURID and a Shiva modem bank. The Shiva systems
actually let you configure the access by IP address. I don't recall if it
lets you set access by port number or type, but at the very least you can
restrict what servers they get to. The SECURID is a good tool, though users
generally find it annoying. Anyway, you can check out http://www.shiva.com
to get product info. It actually works very well and there's not much to
configuring it.
