Yes, the JIT project code is newer and better. Personally I have
reservations about the usability when running the JIT compiler - for me,
keyboard & mouse tend to get delayed and catch up in bursts - but you
can turn it off and it works just fine. For networking, the SLiRP
interface works just dandy for TCP/IP stuff - getting out to the
internet for example - but won't work so well for local appletalk
connections (at least, not on OS7 without appletalk or TCP/IP). It might
be possible to make this work if you are able to locally route appletalk
packets and re-direct them to the SLiRP interface. All a bit hairy-scary
- the likes of which I've never had work reliably in the past. The same
applies to the Tap/TUN interface stuff.

So, although there are obvious security/permissions concerns, getting
your emulated Mac to run happily on a local network and share with other
Macs, the simplest and most transparent solution _is_ the sheep_net
interface. Grump.

Now to the happier bit - the Mac-on-Linux boys use their own sheep_net
driver and they are almost entirely up to date (2.6.22). I have in the
past patched some of their code into sheep_net.c to get 2.6.11 (I think)
to work for me and the latest code from them _almost_ compiles so it
might not be so much of a stretch - even for me! - to fix this.
