Clarification: There is no WAN capability (with or without NAT
traversal) in the currently available Jasmine.
We have, in the lab, a version of Jasmine that uses the hole-punching
technique BOTH for Jasmine connectivity (the connect dialog in the
dock) AND for the island-controller-router design of Hedgehog. (Both
in one image.) It requires a special VM (different from that which
comes from Squeak). We've been using it for about a month, but have
not yet determined in what way it should be made available. (For one
thing, we haven't built the VM on Linux. Just Mac and Windows.)
We'll show it at C5 this week. More info to come, I'm sure.
