[Simh] running on Debian

[Bailey, Scott]

Sigh. No matter how many times I re-read before sending, it doesn't matter. 
Let me expand on this:

Actually, of course, br0 is a bridge device that lets me connect tap0 to my 
physical interface. I have this in /etc/network/interfaces:

# The bridge interface

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        bridge_ports eth1
        address X.Y.Z.3
        broadcast X.Y.Z.255
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway X.Y.Z.1

That is, if you current specify a device (like eth1) directly, transfer its 
settings to br0 and attach the original NIC as a bridge port. [Or change 
instances of "eth1" to "br0", then add the "bridge_ports eth1" line.] Then 
continue as I originally described...

Cheers,
Scott
