For those in need of more robust browser capabilities than those built into Scamper, you may want to try VNC. Here you bring up a window whose contents are a shared Virtual Network Computing viewer. VNC is an open-source technology analogous to X or PC-anywhere, that lets a remote machine see and control the desktop of another machine on the network. The proof-of-concept version in Jasmine lets a whole set of Croquet users share such a viewer. You then bring up whatever remote desktop application you like, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla, etc. There was some mail about VNC on the discussion list recently, but basically you can get it by clicking the upper-right button on the set of overlay buttons that comes up when click on the background within Jasmine Croquet.
