Start with www.cbfx.com
Click Live Account Login - choose ICTS institutional login
Then "Platform Login (java version)"
Then this URL is launched:
http://live.cbfx.sysfx.com:8100/trade/trade.jsp?entry=deal.77&lang=en_US
and (when it works) after some processing the login screen appears.
At the top of this screen (with red capital letters (CLOSE THIS PAGE 
ONLY...)
there is a marked triangle in grayish color which used to display the 
Java symbol
as the applet was firing up.
Now nothing happens and the message line at the botton says "Done".

This is installed  -- but it does not work in your environment?
Maybe that is the problem then,...
and RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise?? What plugin does it use to execute applets?

Is there something else besides gcjwebplugin.so that might help execute 
java applets?
