unfortunately, netscape does not support the signature
algorithms provided in SUN's JDK. to get your applet to work
with netscape, your best bet might be to try using activator:

http://java.sun.com/products/activator/

by using activator, you can replace netscape's JRE with SUN's
(version 1.1.5).

hope this helps,
charlie
