Yes the applet can be the server.
Mainly I think you should check the security model of the Java virtual machine
you're using, it changes from
JDK 1.1.x to JDK 1.2.x, it also changes with diferent vendors, Microsoft,
Netscape, and Sun, so you should consider
to use the java pluging in orther to java an uniform deploy platform.
For example if your' applet runs on the JVM of Netscape Comunicator,
You should need a signed applet and include to this lines in your code:
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalConnect");
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalListen);
Mainly in all platforms the security model goes around signed code.
