These are all of a etoys networking experiment. I do not think they are of much use to students unless they are enhanced quite a bit
They are used in Sugar for collaboration. On other platforms they are too hard to use in a classroom, agreed, because you have to type in IP addresses manually. It would need some equivalent of Sugar's "presence service" to easily connect to peers.
The conclusion seems to be that they should not be exposed in the Object Catalog. Is that right? Can we hide them?
May I put your comment in the manual as an explanation of why there is no explanation of these objects? ^_^

They are already hidden, since they do not appear in any category.

Or an explanation how they work. But mentioning them is a good idea, since people may stumble upon them like you did.
