	I'm not the original poster, but I'd like to say that these
	are the packages that work best with the Linux, as far as I
	tried them (all).

	Unfortunately, it seems that I have bad luck (or plain
	incompetence :-)) as I haven't had much success getting Java
	plugins working with my bank, which uses an applet (via an SSL
	connection, it seems) to enter the password.

	Upon loading the page at URL
	<https://www2.bancobrasil.com.br/aapf/aai/login.pbk>, which
	contains the applet, Mozilla either dies or the applet loads
	and I can type the password, but upon submitting the form, the
	server complains that the password entered was the empty
	string (obviously not true) and makes me reenter the string.

	All other applets on other sites that I've tried worked,
	though, but that which is the most important one for me
	didn't. :-(

	I don't know if this is a problem with the applet or with the
	plugin, since I can use my bank with Microsoft's Internet
	Explorer under Windows and Mozilla under MacOS X (don't
	remember to have tried Mozilla under Windows).

	This leads me to think that the Linux end of things is where
	the problem might be at. :-(

	BTW, I've e-mailed a backtrace generated by the Java VM some
	time ago to this list. There is more information at the
	following addresses for those interested in learning more
	about the difficulties I've been having:

	Thanks for any feedback, Roger...
