OK, I installed Netscape Communicator 4.01 (I think it's higher now) and hey presto the applet loaded and it worked...! It looks pretty well designed and is possibly the first useful implementation of the much hyped Java that I've come across (I mean for me, personally). However, it was very, very slow to load, of course, and very, very buggy. I'll probably stick to phone banking but is fun to try out. BTW, Communicator seems pretty slow all round to me for browsing and loading images.
