Gerson,

be aware that because of the way pcap (the ethernet library built into simh) works, it's not possible without additional effort for simh to talk to the host machine it's running on.

If you're using MS Windows, you can use OpenVPN's TAP driver (part of the OpenVPN distribution kit, http://openvpn.net/ ) to build a virtual network interface in your PC that the PC as well as SIMH can talk to.

cu,
Martin
