>From my experience you do not need two physical interfaces if you are able to connect your physical interface to a hub/router. The hub sends the message from the hosting os back to your interface and libpcap picks up the message and transfers it to the vax.

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
