No, access from home would be at their own expense.  They already have
access from home, but the thing is that they're using passwords, and
you know what that means with normal users.  (Of course, this might
not be a viable option anyway, seeing as they have to be able to
access things with their phones as well, and those obviously don't do
smart cards... hrm...)

Maybe I need to think about some other option, then.  Hrm.  Well, it
was a nice idea.
