What is the suitable JDBC Driver for an Applet to connect to an AS/400!@!!@

I have my class path set up and I can access the AS/400 via a dos prompt
call to a Java app. The Java app uses the AS/400 toolbox JDBC driver and
display the records on the screen. I am having difficulty accessing the
AS/400 via appletviewer. I am using the AS/400 toolbox JDBC driver, but I
still get the no suitable driver error.

not all my code just a snippet()

import java.net.URL;
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.sql.*;
import com.ibm.as400.access.*;

// begin the applet ********************************************

public class Dbf extends java.applet.Applet
{

Button DBFConnect = new Button("Connect to AS/400");
TextField QueryField = new TextField(40);
TextArea OutputField = new TextArea(10,95);

Connection con ;

static {
  try{
    //java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver(new
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver()); // will not work!!!
     Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver");
     }catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
     { e.printStackTrace(); }
    } // end static

String system = "HOST";
String url = "jdbc:as400://" + system;
String Name = "USER";
String Password = "PASSWORD";

public void init()
