Check the e-mail title :)

> You probably have an IPv6 configuration issue; the new simh code tries to use it if it thinks its available.  From a quick look at the code, you may want to replace the 13900 port number with your ip (v4 1.2.3.4:13900 or v6 [2001:db8::123]:13900).

Thanks, that fixed it. I'll pursue fixing that or disabling IPv6, as the unit is on DHCP so doesn't have a fixed IP, thus this needs to work without using the IP address.

No need, I think the issue is external to simh.
