Not really in Classic mode, even if one launches Internet Explorer 
5.1.6 for Mac OS 9 (somehow the plugin PDFViewer appears to be 
incompatible with the surrounding environment which is Mac OS X).

However running Mac OS 9 (without Mac OS X) one can run Acrobat Reader 
from within Internet Explorer, via PDFViewer; in this mode I opened the 
file "calcmath.pdf" but when I push the button "Go Ahead" IE tries to 
"connect to 127.0.0.4" and then nothing happens.
There must be some problem with IE and Mac OS, and probably hasn't to 
do with ConTeXt.
