[Simh] SIMH auto telnet

[Göran Åhling]

This sure would be a nice feature to SIMH - making it much more easy to 
start the system up - and judging from the regular questions that comes 
to the list regarding console/external telnet, I guess it would fill a 
real gap of today!

Please try to have it included in regular distributions of today!

One thought/suggestion to improve further?
Would it be a working idea to exchange the choice of either telnet or 
PUTTY with a parameter
that should be a string, containing just about any command to be passed 
to a cmd-intepreter in a fresh window? (In the Unix-case; would it also 
be an idea to have another parameter to decide with command-interpreter 
to start??).

This would allow the use of any terminal emulator of preference - there 
are a few commercial ones that are quite good, and for those that 
already has one of those going, Putty might not be that popular!

Besides, is there really a "DOS"-interpreter available in all windows 
versions? If not, does that transform some windows-OS:es into just the 
same case as "Unix" above? (Use first parameter's command to start a 
window/shell with a command interpreter. Hand the second parameter to 
this interpreter...

The parameter string could also, if implemented, be used to put any 
extra parameters one might want to add to the default-set up of a 
terminal program - in case one uses for example different keyboard set 
up (say; del/bs-key action) when running against SIMH and some other 
host with the one and same terminal program...
