Most recently, the Cisco Visual Switch manager app that's in the
firmware of my 2950-24 switches which won't run on any Linux or Win32
system I've got within 6 feet of me. You'd think they'd get it right.

I have often found that applets from various places give exception
errors and refuse to run. Others are extremely slow.

On the plus side, there is a Java Telnet app that I used to use that was
*very* good.
