Hi Thomas, 

  It's my understanding that the applet that is loaded in the users
browser even behind the firewall should be able to communicate with the
server that it was loaded from with no security exceptions. Could
something else be causing the security exceptions, or If I am badly
ofbase in making the above assertion, someone give me the appropriate
<*thwap*>  !
