In general, applets aren't allowed to connect to hosts other than the host
that they originated from.

Netscape has a security model where you can add code to your source code
and request different permissions. (This is different from how we are
handling this issue -- see
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/security/index.html
for info on how standard Java is evolving.)

For info on how to use the Netscape-specific features, check out their
documentation at http://developer.netscape.com/software/signedobj/index.html
