Why not look into some sort of software envcryption which would require the
software to be run on that machine.  We have this sort of an operation on our
WatStar PC network and it is pretty thorough.  I think they also have it
on ROM chips for standalone machines now as well.  I don't know who to contact
but maybe I can dig it up and post something.
