[Simh] Seventh Edition Unix on Simh

[Davis Johnson]

I've had a chance to try now.

The `cat >/dev/tty1` test works (I actually used `echo hello 
 >/dev/tty1`, no practical difference).

Changing the 0 to a 1 in the /etc/ttys file and rebooting does work. For 
some reason I had to leave the emulated system down for a minute or so 
after the reboot before I could connect again.
