The page is on a VoIP system's Unified Messaging Server. I've set aside a test-account for access.
I know that the system developers use Mason to (dynamically) generate pages.

The recorderapplet works in f.e. Firefox and Camino. It doesn't work in any version of Safari and/or WebKit. I;ve tried to find out through the Web Inspector where it may fail and why. I can't find it.

In order to have the audio recording etc. work, the java.policy has to be updated - as I did.

Below is the possible part of the code that WebKit struggles with:

var applet;
function recorderStatusChanged() {
   if ( navigator.appName.indexOf( "Netscape" ) != -1 ) {
       applet = document.embeds[0];
   } else {     
       applet = document.RecorderClientApplet;
   }
   var i = 0;
   while( 1 == 1 ) { 
      var td = document.getElementById("Recorder_Control_"+i);
		var IFEBehaviour = false;
		if (window.pageWithIFE && pageWithIFE) {
			IFEBehaviour = true;
		}
		if (td && !td.className.match(/(^|\s+)recorderButtons(\s+|$)/, "g")) {
			IFEBehaviour = false;
		}
      if( td == null ) break;
      var status = applet.get_status(i);
      if( status.match(/Idle/i) == null ) {
         if( status.match(/Selected/i) == null ) {
            td.innerHTML = '<nobr>\
                            <img src="/images/recorder/play_na.gif" title="Not Available">\
                            <img src="/images/recorder/rec_na.gif" title="Not Available">\
                            <img src="/images/recorder/undo_na.gif" title="Not Available"></nobr> ';
         } else {
            if( status.match(/Play/i) == "Play" ) {
               td.innerHTML = '<nobr>\
                               <img src="/images/recorder/pause.gif" title="Pause" onClick="applet.pause();">\
                               <img src="/images/recorder/stop.gif" title="Stop" onClick="applet.stop();">\
                               <img src="/images/recorder/undo_na.gif" title="Not Available"></nobr> ';
            }
            if( status.match(/Pause/i) == "Pause" ) {
               td.innerHTML = '<nobr>\

            }
            if( status.match(/Record/i) == "Record" ) {
               td.innerHTML = '<nobr>\

Java applet support is long gone, closing.
