[Simh] Hello and a noobish question about networking

[Phil Brett]

You don't even need to run it in a VM. You can install the free VMWare
player and use the virtual network hub (under Windows anyway).

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?

This has reminded me I need to update the sourceforge with more
binaries, I added a linux i386 with a 'semi' static libpcap attached
in there...

What's odd is under linux you cannot link -lrt statically... I guess
I'll have to hunt down the source to librt and just include the
associated object files...

Anyways I'll try to get access to a PowerMAC or some kind of mac with
universal tools and build some more builds..

As for using the networking support I've usually just attached it to
the physical eth0 on linux.

You could do some tun/tap trickery, but it'll involve modules & some
other stuff....

Which reminds me I should do another build with SLiRP support for us
TCP/IP folk.

So I'm Mike from Boston, a long time user and a first time "caller"...

 

I recently got an OpenVMS hobby license and a copy of the OpenVMS 7.3

distribution media. My question is fairly simple, but I can't seem to

figure out how to proceed: how do I get Simh 3.8 set up to use a

tun/tap network interface in Linux? I would assume that I need to

install all the pcap stuff and compile the VAX emulator with network

support, but where would I go from there? Is there anything special

I'd need to do? Is the fact that my network card is of the wireless

sort a problem? I've never used tun/tap before and this is pretty

esoteric stuff, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
