Yup, if you're using POP, you're hosed.   You could have an alternate
popd and pop client that use s/key keys, but that starts to get
ridiculous if you need to access a lot of services.   There's a reason
why people are interested in using Kerberos, and why it's becoming
popular to dial in from remote PCs with PPP or SLIP rather than a dumb
terminal program.
