   You have a remote machine with a JVM running, fine. 
  
  Since the applets you download on this remote machine are only running
  inside the JVM, what can they really do, except stealing CPU cycles ? 
  
  At one time or another, you have to interact with the remote machine,
  thus breaking the portability of your applet. In this case, what is
  the JVM good for ?"


you have a JVM with some classes relating to the particular machine
embedded in ROM.

Programs that you download to it talk to those classes.
