Hi, forum.

After a few years out, I decided to put simh-vax up again.
Since my old files were lost on an old desktop, now I am setting simh-vax
on a laptop with eth0
and wlan0, as network interfaces.
My first goal was just to put vax-vms running again. That's ok. VAX-VMS073
with ethernet support
installed.
Now, trying to get telnet working, after insert licenses and install tcpip,
I stuck with
simh networking again.
Following docs on simh-3.9 (readme_ethernet-howto), I did:

-my LAN 192.168.25.0 - wlan0 192.168.25.23 - eth0 not in use.
-linux side:
-after setting up a tuntap tap0 is available.
-bridging: br0 ip address 192.168.25.100/24 with eth0(ip 0.0.0.0) and
tap0(ip 0.0.0.0)
-at this point doesnt matter simh connections outside my lan.

-(simh)vax-vms side:
-xqa0 attached to eth0 (QE0 ip 192.168.25.200) and
-xqb0 attached to tap:tap0 (QE1 ip 192.168.25.220).
No success.

-trying with xqa0 disabled on vms side:no success

I've checked and tryied to set QE0 to ip 0.0.0.0, with no success (invalid
address under vms).
So I cant figure out how to put vms talking to host via tcpip. Even after
several trying on
bridging.
Build vax with no problem; bootting and installing VMS073 with no problem
too.

Using simh-3.9.0 (although show version reports me simh-4.0 beta)
OS linux slackware64 14.1(with multilib)

Any help welcome.
thanks.
