I think I figured out a hack to avoid signing (although I should start
using some form of certificates really soon).
Simply put: Encode raw data in a standard lossless image format, fetch
over the net using getImage (and a media tracker perhaps) and then decode
it by grabbing the pixels of the image!!!!
It sounds really hacked, but I think it can work.
Perhaps the plugin approach is better. Has anybody tried using it under Lunx?

I ran into a similar problem when I had two applets in the same HTML document and wanted to send mouse events from one to the other via network sockets (I was doing it to prove to myself that I could, not for any other really practical purposes). I could get it to work okay using appletviewer, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 4 (after disabling the network security checking). The only thing I've been able to figure for Netscape, however, is that you have to have your applet signed by some kind of certificate authority. This costs money, so I've never done it. If there is a less expensive (i.e. free) way of doing this, I don't know. If anybody out there has a notion how to completely disable the network security checking in Netscape, I'd like to be your friend. Thanks-Andy
