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?
Thanks - Bill

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...
