You would do it with Applets.  The real-time aspect will probably suffer 
due to simple net latency, though.

The latest versions of NS and Opera and others use the Java Plugin by 
default and it can be installed for older versions of NS.  IE has 
waffled on having VM support in or out but also can use the Plugin.

Thank you for the response.  I thought that an Applet would be the best approach, but I don't
understand why browsers are going away from them.

Thanks again,
Michael

Michael:

The only Browser that was really "going away" from Applets was IE and 
the reasons there are obvious.

There are many other reasons not to use Applets and many corporations 
will not use them or allow them to be used (even if they are the 
appropriate solution) for various reasons.

Use a modern Browser and the Java Plugin and you'll do okay.

They're not, but the APPLET element is really just one of the endless
stream of useless HTML elements fgrom Netscape. Both APPLET and EMBED
try to do the job that OBJECT was created for.

The only browser that looks like it's going away from applets is MSIE.
