[Simh] Unable to telnet to other hosts

Mon Nov 4 08:00:02 EST 2013

Hi Priya,

I was looking for the output of "SHOW VERSION" from the "sim> " prompt.  The "SHOW VERSION" output from the ">>> " prompt is the version of the VAX console ROM.  The "sim>" Version information describes the simulator's capabilities.

>From the simulator startup message I can see you're running simh V3.9.

Please download and build the source from https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip

You should just be able to unzip the file and build the vax simulator with "make vax".

The "messages you get when you run the simulator" include an error message.  It would be useful to see what command caused that error.  To do so you can invoke the simulator with the "-v" command switch.

If this doesn't help, then the output produced when you invoked the "make vax" command to build the simulator will be useful.

I'm using fedora 18 as the host.
This is the message i get when i run the simulator :

set cpu conhalt

Also include the output of SHOW VERSION from within the simulator you are using...
