[Simh] SIMH Ethernet Mac OS X

[Hittner, David T.]

This is a known issue, you can read about it in the FAQ.

The host CANNOT talk to the simulator over the physical interface. You
must create a pseudo-interface (TAP/TUN) and bridge the pseudo-interface
to the real interface, then attach the vax to the pseudo interface, so
that the messages are bridged between the systems.

The physical card will *not* repeat the messages.

Alternatively, you can attach the vax to a second physical ethernet
interface, and hook BOTH physical interfaces to the same network, and
they can talk using the hub/switch of the physical network.

Hi Dave,

thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I applied the patch and it really solves the bug that I was unable to
assign en1 as the ethernet-device.

But the much much bigger problem still remains:
I can not talk to the VAX from my Host-System...

I'm sure this MUST be able to do somehow - if I could only figure out
how...
My dream is a portable VAX where I have a X11-Forward to the XDM on the
VMS side and I can use DECwindows each and every day :-)))

Thank you and Greetings

Freddy
