Erm, sorry, this is no longer true.  CNET supply an ActiveX plugin (and
have done for nearly a year now) for Netscape that works relatively
well, though some of the more complex controls are still unavailable,
and the larger format controls for IE4 don't work.  But, it does open
Netscpape to the horrors of ActiveX.

ActiveX is getting more and more use on the net, but I do agree with
you, it's not the best solution, but then I don't like straight Java
much either, that only really works well in Netscape, cutting out 30% of
the net.   However, as you say, it's the better option.

One of the best (if unwieldy) examples of Java chat (live online) that
I've come across is www.shadowland.org, the only problem is that it
needs Netscape, preferably NN4 to work satisfactorily.
