[Simh] Seventh Edition Unix on Simh

[Tom Manos]

Jason,

Thanks for the pointer for installing V7 on pdp-11. I'm not sure how I  
screwed that one up (multiple times), but this sure worked.

All,

After getting it installed, I decided that I like the Interdata port  
better, even though the source tree is not included.

So... now I'm trying to get the telnet interface to the PAS device  
running. I've set it up with the following commands:

set ttp ena
set pas devno=12
att pas 23000
att -e dp0 iu7_dp0.dsk
att -e dp1 iu7_dp1.dsk
boot dp0

It boots up and runs fine, but when I telnet to localhost on port  
23000, I get...

Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.


Connected to the Interdata 32b simulator PAS device, line 0

...and then it freezes. I can see the connection from the simh  
console, but get no activity on the telnet side. What am I missing?

Cheers,
Tom
