Yes. Java provides a set of classes for network communication.

AFAIK, Java itself imposes security restriction where a Java applet can
only connect back to the same server from which it was itself
downloaded.

to have the .NET runtime on their machine
Of course not.

in order to connect to a remote computer?
No.

it or continue to use the older object?
Your choice, you can write your <object> tag either way.
