[Simh] Simh Networking on restrictive network?

[Ghost Wolf]

The best would probably to get the administrators in on the SIMH deal.
The next best thing would be to get a router without wireless (so the 
wireless wouldn't go rouge, ie a hacker attack). The router would 
prevent that a DHCP server from be accessed from a university network. 
Unfortunately it seems that most universities won't allow anything but a 
computer to be connected to there network.

So the best thing is to tell your admins what you are up to and be open 
about it.
