Hi Net-land,

	[Sorry if this is an inappropriate newsgroup for this
question, but I am desperate].  I am trying to find out any
information about the following item: a plastic card (similar to a
credit-card) containing an embedded PROM or EEPROM with metal contacts
enabling the contents of the PROM to be read (or in the case of an
EEPROM written).  I have heard that the French telephone company uses
a card like this for customer billing.  Can someone provide me with
information (name, address, or telephone number) on the company(ies)
that manufacture this card.  Even information on a company that uses
such a device would be appreciated.  Please e-mail responses directly
to me as I don't regularly suscribe to this newsgroup.  Thank You.
