| Can you try with the new binary-packet I just placed on the website. It
| has old-style class files which might fix your problem. If that does not
| solve your problem let us know, but be sure to include any output from
| the java console.

I was using various browswers on a Macintosh, btw, and yes
this fixes the problem.

I have a different problem at least on MacOS 10.3.9, both
safari and firefox. If I load a webpage that loads the
applet, and then navigate to a different webpage, I get a
"are you sure you want to disconnect" dialogue. That
dialogue can not be dismissed. Clicking on either "yes" or
"no" has no effect. The browser is locked up at that point,
and must be force-quit.

This is not a new problem (Mindterm 2 also does this).

On a Windows XP box using Firefox and Java 1.5.0_04b05, the
Confirmation dialogue/window under the same conditions is
blank; no message, no buttons. Clicking the red X in the
upper right of the window does not make it go away. Unlike
on a Mac, the main browser window is not locked up, at least.

I've appended the html that loads the applet so you know how
it is getting launched.

<h1>ssh to server</h1>

This page will load a java applet that is an ssh2 terminal, and it will then
connect back to this server. Use this if you are using a computer that has no
ssh client and you can't install one, but you do have a java enabled browser.

<p>
Use a new window or tab to view other webpages while using this applet. Do NOT
navigate away from this page, or the applet will break your connection.

<p>
On all MacOS browser/platforms I have tested, the applet will lock up the
browser by bringing up a "Do you want to disconnect" dialogue that cannot be
dismissed when you attempt to load a new page in this tab/window before
terminating your ssh session. :-(
