[Simh] Hello and a noobish question about networking

[Markus Ruggiero]

Haven't done this yet but one possibility could be running SIMH within  
a virtual machine. This could be a minimum bare bones Linux without  
GUI. Networking should then "just work" because all the TUN/TAP stuff  
would then be handled by VMWare or whatever else one uses to  
virtualize. Anyone done this? Any volunteers out there to create a  
VMWare appliance with SIMH?
