Hi Dave,

The above description is somewhat vague.  Can you provide the exact configuration files you've given BOTH simulators AND exactly what was output by the simulator when you are observing an issue.

Also, please provide the output of:
    sim> SHOW VERSION
    sim> SHOW ETHERNET

Also, please provide the configuration files you used when things were working under simh v3.9.

Thanks.
