Shawn:

I just want to know where you got JDK 1.1.9 <g>.

I don't think the comm packages will pass the security system (sandbox)
for applets.  Applets aren't allowed to access hardware on the client;
big hairy no-no.  Let the errors in the Java Console be your guide.

Printing from applets is a whole different ball of fish.  Since printing
in Java has never really worked well (it got almost okay around JDK
1.1.6), I'd start by looking at the java faq at afu.com for their tips
on printing.  You don't need serial port access for that, though you may
need to do some browser specific tweaking and coding.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
