	I'm looking for recommendations on emulators for 68000/68010
processors.  The emulator is for an embedded product in the networking
field, TCP/IP, slip (or PPP), etc.

	Any war stories of good or bad ones?  What features were most
useful?  Which features were least useful.  Does anyone have opinions
on the following features in general:

		- Trace history of instructions, data accesses, DMA
		  with various types of filtering.
		
		- Data access triggering in specifiable ranges
		   (eg: if a write occurs between a given range, halt)

		- Emulator useful over a network, the emulator sits
		  on ethernet itself, so any machine can use it.

		- PC based emulators as opposed to the serial connect ones.

		- Ability to snapshot the data areas and also to preload
		  them for testing debugging.


	Finally if you where doing your project again would you use/not use
an emulator?  Or a different one, why?
