Thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually member of HECnet (Area 7, you 
will be welcome to visit BITXOV (VMS) or BITXOR (RSX11M+) :). So I've 
got the possibility of using RSX11M+ or RSX11M to do the stuff. I just 
was trying to find a way to do it directly from the host linux machine 
without having to handle the pushing and pulling of the files into and 
from the simulated PDP11. I've opted to ping the Simh list because I 
feel this issue is more in-topic here than in the HECnet list, where the 
topic should be more related to the networking itself.

What I'm trying to do (as a summer, relaxing project ;)) is to be able 
to build a very basic PDP11 kernel from scratch (oh, yeah! ;)). The 
longterm plan is to offer that to an uni OS teacher friend of mine and 
study if it could be an useful learning tool for students. But that's a 
really long shot. The short-term goal is to have as much fun as I can :-P

(Yes, I know there are plenty of kernels around, and I plan to use them 
as inspiration... )
