*** Tested build: jre 6u10-b99 (plugin2) - [Nov 5, 2007 window build]
(jre-6u10-plugin2-windows-i586-p-05_nov_2007.exe)

>java -version
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b99)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 12.0-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

** Tested OS/ browser:
- Windows XP (sp2)/ FF 3-Minefield (3.0a9pre.en-US)
- Windows XP (sp2)/ IE 6 (sp2)

*** Problem: The following pogo applets fail to load: Canasta, World Class Solitaire, Lottso, Fortune Bingo, Tri-Peaks Solitaire using new Java Plugin mode. On the same test configurations, environments, if we switch to use the existing Java Plugin mode, then these applets load fine. It appears to be a regression in the new Java plug-in.
Must use Off-SWAN machines to play these games (as they are blocked by proxy setting)
Attached is the screenshot of canasta applet which failed to load.

and here's the associated java console information:
