[Simh] Physical serial ports and SIMH

[Jörg Hoppe]

Hi,

I'm in need of accessing physical tty's from SimH now too, see this 
BeagleBone installation with 4x RS232:

One idea was to let SimH simulate additional serial ports over telnet as 
usual.
Access to physical ttys should be made outside SimH with some 
"telnet-server-to-tty" bridge on the BeagleBone Linux itself.
For MS-Windows such solutions exist, search for "IPCOMSERVER".
But I found nothing similar on Linux.

Did anybody researched in that direction?

Joerg
