No, I haven't used ts10. The only pdp11 simulator I have used is
Ersatz-11. That has both a working UNA and a working QNA emulation

No, it's at the wrong end. The linux bridging code would retransmit
packets from one network interface to another. My deamon reads
/dev/tap<n> and repeats packets seen on that side. It's a bit like
the two sides of a pty.
I've attached a zip file (sorry, running windows this afternoon) with
ethertapd. You'll find the source, a manpage, and some pieces for
startup scripts. The startup script is driven by files in
/etc/sysconfig, some samples are provided. It should be reasonably
self-explanatory. :-)
