I'm not totally clear about what "smallest" mean here. Smallest how? The
physcially smallest actual PDP-11? The smallest memory footprint? The
slowest CPU? It's all kindof weird if you're going to run it on an
emulated machine anyway.
Besides, you mentioned before that having a real TCP/IP was not actually
required, and that having another machine do the TCP/IP part, while your
PDP-11 just talked over a serial port would be ok.
So, that essentially means that all you care about is the TECO part.
Have some PDP-11 run an OS, have TECO running on it, and have that whole
thing in simh. Have the console port connected to a telnet server on
port 80, and all you need to write is your TECO code.
