[Simh] SIMH auto telnet

[Christian Buchegger]

Hi,

since simh supports  the bang  operator  the described functionality can 
easily achieved by
adding a call to the telnet client of your choice in the simh.ini file like:

; attach console
set telnet 7777
; Sample call for telnet client in windows
! start l:\local\bin\putty localhost 7777
; and the same for linux ...
! gnome-terminal -x telnet localhost 7777 &
;
; Now start the emulator
boot cpu

.c
