    FWIW, I think the right thing at this point would be Open Genera on
    Java.  It might be slower than a native emulator, but it would have a
    great deal more survivability... in addition to having continual
    access to Java goodies as well as a way to lure Java users away from
    Java (by having access to "everything Java is and more").

    Just imagine the applet form.  Dynamic Windows inside an applet...

In order to write an Ivory emulator which will run Open Genera you need:

 1) access to network packets (we use the packet filter on Dec Unix)
 2) ability to control paging characteristics (i.e. turn on/off read/write
    access, create/destroy pages)
 3) address a larger than 32-bit of bytes address space (or be efficient
    enough that a software virtual memory scheme doesn't completely kill 
    performance.
 4) ability to completely control keyboard and mouse

Does Java have all of these?
