The contexts I am planning for are A) students learning Squeak on everyday laptops in a small classroom with WiFi, and B) home schoolers working at home connected to the Internet. Assume for now A and B are the same group.

Sugar's activity sharing will work in both situations, except it expects to find a school server (or at least a Jabber server). Regardless, Sugar's activity sharing takes place outside of EToys and we will not be using Sugar.

At one time, three guys (one in Tokyo, one in Osaka, and one in Los
Angeles) used to do stuff over Nebraska every day as a "shared white
board" and it worked ok, if you know what not to do on a slow
connection.
One host has to have an open port and the others have to know how to
connect.
Alan gave a few real talk over it remotely.
