Re: Java & Netscape security (reply to misc. postings)
After reading http://java.sun.com/1.0alpha3/doc/security/security.html my (possibly faulty) understanding of Java security is that it will not allow an applet to speak to IP addresses other than the one it was loaded from. I have a question: Doesn't restriction this prevent an applet from checking some ecash it has just received for validity with a bank computer?

FYI. According to an interview I did with Sun. Inter applet communcation, btw, can only occur between applets from the same IP address, same domain name and on the same page... /hawk
