Unfortunately not, such a command line application should be written
from scratch.  However, I don't think it is a big issue, as libsipdht2
APIs provide quite an easy interface to handle peers.

Well, another issue with the graphical simulator is that it requires a
lot more processing power for refreshing the graphical interface than
for running the peers.  In fact, any event occorred to each peer
triggers a complete redraw of the whole window.  All in all, the goal of
the gsim-sipdht is to show how CAN works.
