Take a look at PORTUS: www.lsli.com

User authentication can be done using Out of Band Authentication (OOBA).
They provide a OOBA client that can be installed on the PC to automatically
handle the challenge response.

I don't know the full details of implementing it for what you are wanting,
but check it out.  I have used other facets of the PORTUS product and it is
a very stable application and the company provides excellent support.
