I've successfully run VMS, netbsd (on VAX) and RSX11M with networking under simh, you need to attach the device to a network card in the linux box with the command "att xq eth0" - also, you need to run as root because it puts the card into promiscuous mode. I'm not sure that there's a way around this, because of the need to respond to various multicast addresses as well as the machine's actual hardware address. I've not been able to communicate between the host machine and the emulated one but others seem fine Here's some config files: patrick |
