Excellent. Now we have something more tangible. I think I already 
pointed this out, but we might as well repeat it.

RT-11 can run on any PDP-11 CPU, including an 11/03, which I think is 
the computationally "weakest" model.
You'll have a Q-bus. and you can stuff up to 56 Kbyte in there, which is 
enough for RT-11 and TECO.
As you said you'd be happy to have some other machine manage to actual 
TCP/IP connection, and just have a serial line to the PDP-11, this setup 
fulfills your requirements for a machine running TECO, as well as 
probably being the slowest one.
However, where you'll find a PDP-11/03 today, I don't know.

If you instead plan to use simh, then it's no longer the "smallest", by 
any longshot, and that requirement becomes just plain silly.
