That's something that I've never gone looking for since the subject has never come up with the stuff that I do, but it seems to me that a signature pad is merely a small-format drawing tablet and that's a very old technology. (There was a drawing tablet available for the Commodore 64.) So perhaps instead of looking for a "signature pad" what you really want is just a small drawing tablet like a Wacom for which linux drivers come built-in with Centos. ------------------------------------------------------------ Frank, Thanks for your responses!!!! Yes, that is what I am looking for. I can certainly use a wacom board with gimp, but I was looking for a more automated process that will be performed by end users, and was hoping that someone on the list had crossed that bridge before.
