Okay, seems fair enough.  We have time for them to discuss.

Thanks for the fix, I was able to start the applet successfully.  A
couple of problems remain:

- It asks for me to login each time the applet is used ( I am checking
the 'Save my login' button )
- There seems to be a maximum time between opening the browser and a
successful login.  The first time I tried I took too long and
authentication failed.

Regards,
Robert.
