[Simh] MacOSX networking troubles...

I have gotten simh to compile on MacOSX, and when I run it I can see my
ethernet devices and attach to them, but I am having trouble with network
connectivity.  I compiled with ETH_DEBUG enabled.  If I manually set an
arp entry pointing to the virtual machine from a Linux box on the same
subnet as the host, and then ping the virtual machine, I get "Eth:
reading" messages with the correct src and dst ethernet addresses, so
reading from the network seems to work.  However, I get no response to the
pings.  If I manually set an arp entry in the guest OS pointing to the
linux box and ping the Linux box from the guest, nothing seems to make it
onto the network according to my sniffing.

I am using the same 2.11BSD disk image I have used under simh/Linux pdp11
with success, so I am fairly sure that I have the guest OS configured
correctly.

Any ideas?  Has anybody else gotten networking under OSX to work?
