I don't think that it doesn't work. I just don't have much idea what I'm
doing.

I may not even be using the correct terms. I want the VMS OS instance
running on SIMH to be able to use the network of the Solaris host. If I run
it as root it works fine. If I run it as a user it doesn't.

I found magic recipes for Linux and OpenBSD hosts running SIMH and they
work fine. I don't know how to get it to work on a Solaris host.

I would like it to be able to use the host network as transparently as
possible without running as root. It should be able to serve telnet and ftp
(no competing instances running on the host) and apps running under VMS
should be able to reach the internet via ftp, etc.

Thank you.
