I'm impressed with the amount of hate BasiliskII seems to generate around here. ;^)
I've never had much of a problem with BasiliskII, at least in the sense that it's never seemed any more buggy and crashy then an actual 68k Mac with networking enabled. Assuming you get a good build, that is. Building it from scratch on Linux was always a black art. For some reason SheepShaver seems much more forgiving.
So far as Mini vMac goes, someone can wake me when it supports networking. At the very least it'd be nice if it would emulate serial ports as a UNIX socket so in principle at least you could fake Appletalk or PPP to it.
