I've no idea if Evennia supports this (probably not), but LambdaMOO has support for building arbitrary clients and servers in the LambdaMOO language. MOO Canada had (it seems to be down at the moment) a gopher server with which you could browse the world. In case it comes back up, the address is gopher://moo.ca/

Incidentally, someone has also written for LambdaMOO a "Generic Gopher Tablet" which acts as an in-world gopher client that you can interact with and pass around to other people in the world. So, for instance, you can browse to a site and then hand the tablet to someone else, who can then read the page you have browsed to.

The problem with a LambdaMOO server, of course, is that it uses a language all its own. Of course, you could consider this an advantage, since everyone is on equal footing :)
