    Subject: is this a FAQ?

Hi, In java 1.2 -- I've been reading and reading, but I still haven't
come across the answer to a couple of basic questions.

1. is it still true that an applet (let's say unsigned) running with
the 1.2 plugin will be able to "connect" back to any port on the host
that originated the html file? This used to be true before, but has 1.2
taken this away?

2. are there examples that show how such a connection would work
without mucking around with policy files? (I thought Netscape and
Microsoft had much simpler ways of making this work -- without
requiring an entirely different set of tools -- why is Sun doing
this?)

Sigh.
