Maybe I missed it, but what terminal multiplexor do simh simulate?
Or what do you mean by a terminal multiplexor here?

Are you simply talking about the fact that simh sets up a telnet port 
for incoming connections, and distribute these to multiple simulated 
serial ports?

I mean, serial ports on computers are nothing new. And having 
controllers with multiple serial ports is also nothing new.

The fact that simh can simulate these, and map them to telnet ports do 
not make a terminal multiplexor of any sort.
