[Simh] Windows8

On my system I run the simh binary without privilege.  When I execute the ATTACH DZ or SET CONSOLE TELNET command, I get a "Windows Security Alert" popup telling me that the firewall has blocked access.  I click on the "Allow Access" button and provide Administrator credentials to allow the access.  As long as the same binary is subsequently run from the same place, that single granting of firewall access will suffice permanently, and the simulator will be able to run without privilege.

This is why I run my SIMH instances in Linux VMs. :)

Other benefit of that is being able to talk IP between the host and SIMH since the pcap is on a virtualised interface, not the real one.
