I work in one of the few high schools in the country that is still mostly Mac. We also have a lot of Cisco network gear. I would like to use some of the software tools that Cisco has available to manage the equipment but Cisco is not a Mac friendly company. One of their tools requires a browser java plugin that is only available for Windows, Solaris and Linux.
What kind of plugin is this? Is it a Java applet? If it doesn't work on any Mac browser, then this is a bug in Apple's Java VM that should be reported to Apple.
My thought was to get Linux running on OSX, then Firefox running on Linux, and then try the plug on Firefox to see if I could get that to work for the management tool.
What exactly do you mean by "get Linux running on OSX"?
I either need to get this to work, someone needs to tell me how to get the Cisco web tools to work under Safari/FireFox on OSX, or someone needs to hack Cisco's java plugin to work under OSX.
I am quite surprised that Mac would be the exception to all those platforms you listed. Have you tried running it under Mozilla and even the simple appletviewer? Have you upgraded to the latest versions of Mac OS X and the Java VM (1.4.2 Update 2)?
