I think I looked into this a few years ago, and found that it can't. 
There is no absolute reason why it would not be able to, but exactly how 
you control a physical serial port differs between OSes, so I suspect it 
would be hard to write generic.

However, I think that under Unix, if you just log in on a serial port 
and start simh, you'd be more or less there already?
